She was silent trying to be 
Like the girl who acted on the TV 
Always knowing when to say 
Wishing for a moment so that they could see 

Staring in the night 
picture in my room 
And I think that she knew her lines 

Break away tonight 
I wanna hold your hand 
We've got to get it right 
We've got to understand 

Carefully watching waiting as I 
Stood upon the back streets and we start to play 
I was screaming louder as the 
Curtains fall between us in a twisted way 

Staring in the night 
picture in my room 
And I think that she knew her lines 

Break away tonight 
I wanna hold your hand 
We've got to get it right 
We've got to understand 

Placing all the questions in the 
Minutes of a game we won so long ago 
Dangerous and beautiful the 
Radio transmission that I have to know 

You could [bad word] 
You could never stay 
And I think you belong to me 

Break away tonight 
I wanna hold your hand 
We've got to get it right 
We've got to understand
