Domino (Live at the Niedersachsenstadion, Hannover, 10th July 1992)

[In the Glow of the Night]
The grey of evening fills the room
There's no need to look outside
Aw, to see or feel the rain
Then 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 almost can believe that she is here…
Here 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

All the lonely people, the empty rooms
And all the 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, they 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?
Here 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

All the lonely people, the empty rooms
And all the pointless violence, silent tombs
Could it be that we shall be together again?
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…

Chester Thompson: (One, two, three, four!)

[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 that 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!
And 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!

(Instrumental)

Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
That we've seen last night on the T.V
Maybe, if we're lucky, they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see, oh…
Ah, but there's nothing you can do, when you're next in line
Oh, no…
You've got to go, domino!

I'm one with the living, and I'm feeling just fine
I know just what I gotta do
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only lives on in a song, oh…
Now, but there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
Oh no, no, no…
You've got to go, domino!

Do you know, do you know what you have done?!
And do you know, do you know?
Do you know what you've begun?!

(Reprise)
In silence and darkness
Hold each other near tonight
And pray it will last forever…
Forever…
Will it last forever?
Forever…

Now but there's nothing you can do, if you're the next in line
Oh no, no, no, no, no…
Butcha' gotta, domino!

Now do you know, do you know, do you know?
Do you know what you have done?!
Now do you know, do you know, do you know?
Do you know what you've begun?!

Cause there's nothing, nothing
There ain't nothing you can do
There ain't nothing you can do
We're the next in line
We're all the next in line

You're the next!
You're the next!
You're the next, you're the next!
You're the next!
You're the next!
You're the next in line, we're the next in line

Well we're the next in line
The next in line
We're the next in line
The next in line
We're the next in line, the next in line
And you gotta' go!

(Keyboard Break)

'Cos there's nothing, there is nothing
There is nothing, there is nothing
There ain't nothing we can do
We're the next in line, the next in line
And you gotta' go, domino!

Yes, you gotta' go, gotta' go…
Yes you gotta' go, yes you gotta' go…
Yes, you gotta' go, and you gotta' go…
