10 To 1 - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

10 to 1, you’re on the phone, how am I supposed to say?

On and on, you carry on, all I want is to be alone

And my heart’s just a house around the heaven

My room, that’s the room where I sleep in

My bed, girl, I’m lying awake just thinking of you

Quiet at 4:00, there’s a knock on the door

Please, God, let there not be earth

I told her once a million times, I just want to be alone

My heart’s just a house around the heaven

My room, that’s the room where I sleep in

My bed, girl, I’m lying awake, just thinking of you, what to do today

The morning after, the night before, I haven’t slept for worrying

A perfume letter comes through the door, I can’t bear to open up

I know I promise to come to you, now I have these things to move

On and on it seems to me, you don’t understand this amity

Shall I make it obvious to really wanting to make it hurt?

10 to 1, you’re on the phone, once again you wake me up

Don’t you sleep?

Can’t you see?

I just want to be alone

And my heart’s just a house around it

But I’m lying awake just thinking about you
