Zoë 25 lyrics

He struggles to the breakfast table,

still hung-over, hardly able to come

to terms with Monday's new demands,

to activate the microwave,

to reheat Friday's take away,

the cafetiere to muster up

some coffee from the grains.

He lights the next last cigarette

and promises himself,

as he retches in the sink,

to change his ways.

He dreams inside the Sun,

of Zoë, from London, 25.

She's foetal on the foldaway,

staring at the laundry in the corner,

that she should have done the night before.

Listening to her flat mate

singing Stones songs in the shower,

she hopes she leaves hot water

when the bathroom's finally free,

she cries into the mirror

and smudges her mascara,

she's Zoë, from London, 25.

When you're looking for somebody,

you might not even see them,

when they're standing there

in front of you, right before your eyes.

If you're looking for somebody

you're going to need some help.

You know you'll never find her when

you're still looking for yourself.

He races to the subway station,

out of breath and out of options.

He couldn't make the phone call

to explain himself away.

He's locked in a reality

that's taking time to sink in,

‘cause he's lost inside a daydream,

his mind is occupied

He turn's his back on everybody,

on Zoë from London 25.

When you're looking for somebody,

you might not even see them,

when they're standing there

in front of you, right before your eyes.

If you're looking for somebody

you're going to need some help.

You know you'll never find her

when you're still looking for yourself.

She clutches at the broken heel

from tripping down the escalator,

chasing her white rabbits

through the tunnels far below,

where she moves around invisible,

to all concerned anonymous,

a dream girl in a nightmare

on a journey to the stars.

She makes her journey to the stars...

At the Micklegate, where you lost

your way and time stood still.

At the Micklegate, with my heart

in chains, the dream was killed.

At the Micklegate, where you lost

your way and time stood still.
