Who makes up the numbers
Puts them in the places
I can adjust the details until all the places fit
Who puts up the buildings
Stacked up on the islands
Working through the night because they don’t know how to quit
What cuts up the pieces
Puts them on the table
Feeds them to you lovingly
Until it makes you sick
Watch in fascination
As we fall
We know it’s them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can’t fight love or death
Hey man, we got it all
Watch in fascination
As we fall
Watch in fascination
As we fall
Is the empire answering
Hello hello hello
Watch in fascination
As we fall
Tell me
Chorus
We know it’s them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can’t fight love or death
Hey man, we got it all
Watch in fascination
As we fall
Is the empire answering
Hello hello hello
Oh, we know it’s them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can’t fight love or death
Hey, man we got it all
