Two People In a Room

Wire

Compositor: Colin Newman

Two people in a room
Facial movements betray
A private display
Of nervous disorder

And mutual torture
Two people in a room
Bloody image is conjured
But no one is injured

The weapons are chosen
But the action is frozen

Two people in a room
Positions are shifted
The ceasefire uplifted
The lighting is fierce
It's intended to pierce
Any cloak of deceit
And encourage retreat
And god they're so gifted
My god they're so gifted
