Lyrics
There's Something Wrong
Verse
There's no driver on the train in the distance
There's no captain on the boat heading down to port
The horse that leads the race has got no rider
The trial's begun but there's no judge in the court
Chorus
I've been cooking for one for far too long
Our bed's been used, but only on one side
Just one wine glass gets filling
There's something wrong, since you said goodbye
Verse
Now it's 6pm but the newsman's not appearing
The film cast's ready, but there ain't no one to direct
The band's onstage but they're waiting for the singer
There's no troops for the general to inspect.
Chorus
I've been cooking for one for far too long
Our bed's been used, but only on one side
The world gets colder and more empty
There's something wrong living this lonely life
Verse
Now I wander through the crowded downtown buildings
I pass my friends, but no one sees me there
I talk to them, but no one turns around
Every word just fades into the air
Chorus
I've been cooking for one for far too long
Our bed's been used, but only on one side
One wine glass gets filling
There's something wrong
There's something wrong
There's something wrong
Since you said goodbye
I've been cooking for one for far too long
Our bed's been used, but only on one side
The world gets colder and more empty
There's something wrong
Since you said goodbye
