My Experience [The Margin +]
[Verse 1]
It was nothing, it came from nowhere at all
It was a casual remark, not a curtain-call
Late for breakfast – black coffee, brandy-laced...
Oh that look on your face
I'll remember last night;
I'll look out for the signs;
You were caught in the light
Oh time after time after time after time

[Chorus]
It's been my experience
That when the row gets serious
A certain silence will fall...
But I just can't stop it, oh tell me what's wrong?
My heart goes like a rocket, the feeling's so strong now
No, I just can't stop it, why don't you tell me what's wrong?
Don't think about it too long
Don't think about it too long

[Verse 2]
I could argue this another way
But on another day I might have to shout
You keep your mouth shut
It's too late for that now: oh the word got out
In translation it's lost
In desperation it's mimed;
Is this Paradise lost
Or Paradise time after time after time after time?
[Chorus]
It's been my experience
That when the row gets serious
A certain silence will fall...
Marilyn, tell me what's wrong
Marilyn, the feeling's so strong now
Marilyn, tell me what's wrong
Oh baby, I can't think about it too long

[Outro]
*Cheers*
That was "My Experience"
And now, "Paradox Drive"
