Halide
Lyrics
Two of us behind a curtain
Station hall at half past nine
One of us was going somewhere
Couldn't tell you now which line
Four for two, the coins went clattering
And we crammed onto the seat
You were counting down the flashes
Knocking knees and tapping feet
Nobody was meant to keep it
Just a strip to kill the wait
Then it slid out, warm and drying
And the train was running late
Flash one
Squeeze in tight
Flash two
Hold it right
Flash three
Look at me
Last one
Not in time
Caught you turning in the light
Three are grinning, stiff and posing
Every one of them a lie
But the fourth one's only blurring
You were turning to say bye
Flash one
Squeeze in tight
Flash two
Hold it right
Flash three
Look at me
Last one
Not in time
Caught you turning in the light
Here, you keep it
Don't forget
Flash one
Squeeze in tight
Flash two
Hold it right
Flash three
Look at me
Last one
Right in time
Keep you turning in the light
Every booth I pass, I check the slot
Just in case it's still developing
