Passing Through - The Boomtown Rats

Today in the park

I thought I saw you

That afternoon light

Playin' tricks on you

I wish that you told me

I’m only passing through

You passed through me

As you were passing through

Didn’t you?

We will not break, we will not bend

We’ll take these rented souls and render them

Immune to loss or pain

We’ll just pretend it’s all the same

Today in the cafe

I thought I saw you

Smoke filters through the window

Playing those tricks on you

Why didn’t you tell me

You were only passing through?

Stopping here a little while

As you were passing through

Didn’t you?

We will not break, we will not bend

We’ll take these rented souls and render them

Immune to loss or pain

We’ll just pretend that nothing’s changed
