A Matter Of Simple Deduction Lyrics

(Verse)
I was walking alone in an unfamiliar town
when the buildings started to shiver and shake.
Shimmering rain came down in sheets
and then glittered like glass on the empty streets.
I could see your face in the wind
I could hear the orchestral storm begin to sing:
'It's the end, it's the goddamn end!
Come on, baby, light that, light that fire!'
(Chorus)
It's a matter of simple deduction.
It's a matter of complete control.
You can hold hands with the man in the tower,
but you just can't guarantee a place for your soul.
(Verse)
So there I was, right? Stuck in the street.
Not a soul for miles, on my own two feet.
Glittering glass, piles of trash,
stuttering into the wind, wind, wind.
I could see your face in the air,
I could taste your skin on my lips.
But this is the end, this is the end!
Come on, baby, light that, light that fire!
(Chorus)
It's a matter of simple deduction.
It's a matter of complete control.
You can hold hands with the man in the tower,
but you just can't guarantee a place for your soul.
(Instrumental)
