about

"O, let us have him, for his silver hairs
Will purchase us a good opinion
And buy men’s voices to commend our deeds.
It shall be said his judgment ruled our hands.
Our youths and wildness shall no whit appear,
But all be buried in his gravity." - Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

lyrics

I'll be here in ribbons on the cutting-room floor
while you're walking through the editor's door
let me stand in the frame with you
let me stand next to you
I've been waiting so long
in the arena with my wristwatch on
You might glimpse my arm or the back of my head
standing on the bus or waiting to pay
I can learn the lines, but this is not who I am

Passerby
where do you go at night?
Passerby
do you see me here
waiting, waiting for you
for you

so call, call, call
crawl the city guard
this messenger's come far
down the Kingsway
with orange headlights in his eyes
a burned-out shadow at the back of the stage
while you're talking with your hands, I'll be standing in the background
while you're waiting for Godot
I'll be waiting for you.

Passerby
who do you see at night?
Passerby
Don't leave me behind, I don't know who I am
Don't leave me behind, I don't know who I am
