Pull out the stop plugs, drain all the waste

Who needs it anyway

Fill all the big holes, leave no trace

No sign of yesterday



I wash all the dishes and I clean up my place

No sign of yesterday

I stare at the photographs of your dark face

No sign of yesterday



Out in the yard was such a lovely place

It's where we used to play

Inside, outside you can feel and taste

No sign of yesterday



And I can't hear you calling

I can't hear you calling

I can't hear you anymore

Metal ships are falling

This old car keeps stalling

Always seems to be the way



Pick up the pieces and go dig out the dead

Then you can go to bed

Night is the stealer and time is the test

No sign of yesterday



Pull out the stop plugs, drain all the waste

Who needs it anyway

Fill all the big holes, leave no trace

No sign of yesterday



And I can't hear you calling

I can't hear you calling

I can't hear you anymore

Metal ships are falling

This old car keeps stalling

Always seems to be the way
