Domino (Live at Wembley Stadium, London, 4th July 1987)
Domino: In the glow of the night
The grey of evening fills the room. No need to look outside. Oh to see or feel the rain. I reach across to touch her. But I know that she's not there. Rain keeps running down the window pane. Time is running out for me
Can't you see what you are doing to me? Can't you see what you have done? As I try to pass another long and sleepless night, a hundred crazy voices call my name. As I try to pass them by, I can almost believe that she is here. She's in the glow of the night
Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall nеver be togethеr again? All of my life?
Oh the lonely people, the empty rooms. Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again?
Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night. Only foreign city sirens can cut through. Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold. But they can't keep out the chilling sounds. Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming, that she is here with me? She's in the glow of the night
Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall never be together again? All of my life?
Oh the lonely people, the empty rooms. Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again? Yes, could it be that we shall be together again? In silence and darkness. We held each other near that night. We prayed it would last forever, forever.....
The last domino
Blood on the windows. Millions of ordinary people are there. They gaze at the scenery. They act as if it is perfectly clear. Take a look at the mountains. Take a look at the beautiful river of blood
The liquid surrounds me. I fight to rise from this river of hell. I stare round about me. Children are swimming and playing with boats. Their features are changing, their bodies dissolve and I am alone. I am alone
Now see what you've gone and done
Now see what you've gone and done
Now you never did see such a terrible thing, as was seen last night on TV. Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again. Such a terrible thing to see. There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line, you've got to go Domino
Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine. I know just what I must do. Play the game of happiness and never let on. That it only lives on in a song. No there's nothing you can do when you're the next in line. You've got to go Domino
Do you know what you have done? Do you know, do you know what you've begun
In silence and darkness. Hold each other near tonight and pray it will last forever. Will last forever. Forever
No there's nothing you can do when you're the next in line. You've got to go Domino. Do you know, do you know. Do you know what you have done? Do you see what you have done? ‘Cause there’s nothing, nothing. There’s nothing you can do. There’s nothing you can do. Do you see? Do you see what you have done?
