Soft Focus

One day I lost my face in a crowd
I tried to call it back, the color ran into the sand
I'd worn this face before now
And looked but through jaded eyes

Soft focus, soft focus
To watch the picture tube, and see me fade from black
To grey

Through the darkness I stumbled to
Laughter in the darkened room
Though when I came through the doorway
The laughter seemed to fade away

Soft focus, soft focus
Oh can't you see me in this crowde rom? God, can't you
Hear me in this

Headlights on the screen passing faraway
I saw my eys in the car, red light jumped on my face
On to the screen and left me here
I couldn't walk away
