David Sylvian & Robert Fripp - Endgame
Found on Jean the Birdman Part 1. Copyright: Virgin Records Ltd.

I just sank into sleep, the conversation wasn't worth repeating
Faith would start the morning off by judging love she'd finally found me wanting
She said that I was born with one foot in the door
Displays of affection but you don't know what it's for
And Jesus said "Don't worry son, that's just the sound of God laughing"

The room was quite a mess, the court said I had no defence against her
The bags were packed, the doors were closing, the three day truce of hostilities was over
I thought I'd notice when my tail was in the fire
She dressed the wounds with vitriol to keep the burns alive
And Jesus said "If you listen good you'll hear the sound of God laughing"

Last chances in the car, the fine white lines are leading to the station
I'll start the journey off defining love with a thousand explanations
Rows of telegraph poles where the railway meets the sea
Counting crucifixions on this road to Calvary
And the DJ said "You've been listening to the wonderful sound of God laughing"
And Jesus said "Well it's over once you've heard the sound of God laughing"
