another time - another place 
another answer just in case 
it's just a memory that i will soon forget 
another glamorous debut 
another chance to see right through 
your empty promises that mean so much to me 

and all at once i get the feeling 
that i'll never get the chance to talk to you 
and all at once i get the feeling 
that i'll never hear you say it isn't [bad word] 

i had a dream - i saw you in a magazine 
i turned the page and you were gone 
i can't explain - i can't express the way i feel 
it's [bad word] - it's so unreal 
 [bad word]  

all these places i have been 
there all the same - it's just the miles and miles 
that set them all apart 
and all these faces i have seen 
it seems to me that they've been 
trying to tell me something from the start 

and all at once i get the feeling that i'll 
never get the chance to talk to you 
and all at once i get the feeling 
that i've got to hear you say it isn't [bad word]
