The Figurants - Serious Business Lyrics

Don't suppose you would happen to know
Where Uncle V was going
It'd be a pride-filled and a shameful show
To keep cavorting with the living
And don't pretend now that
You do not know me
This is only a beginning
It would make more sense if you played along
Oh, if only were willing
I can almost see from here
The outline of your swelling tears
It's been a longer day than the night will adhere to
Even from this stage
You're burning a book
As you're reading it,
Page by page, page by page
Back when you were starting out
You'd make people leave the room
Whenever you'd start to talk about
What your cousin was doing
I can almost see from here
The outline of your fading tears
It's been a longer day than the night will adhere to
Even from this stage
You're burning a book
As you're reading it
Page by page, page by page
