David Wilcox - On to the Next lyrics

from Into The Mystery

..............................................

Someone said it was suicide

His empty chair is all - we see

Not that anyone knew him well,

But he sat behind me

Now they come with the questioning

Now they?re so sincere:

Do you remember anything

That he said to you here?

If you get close against the window

You can feel it

Closer

A trace of a breeze that makes it through

I remember you said

It?s almost enough that you could breath it

If you had to

That?s what I remember most of you

You can hear a pencil drop

And the fluorescent lights

Lean forward and keep your answers

out of sight

If you?re stuck on a tricky one

If the question?s too complex

Don?t try too figure it out, they say,

Just move on to the next.

CHORUS

Who?s to blame for a high-school suicide?

Ooh, they claim it?s the best years of our lives

CHORUS

..............................................
