Everyone is busy with the regular routine The sniper just takes his aim Everyone is window shoppingno one is amazed Even if he hit youyou'd still think it's just a graze You go to a movieyou go to a show You think that you're livingyou don't really know Big tears mean nothing You can count them as they fall Big tears mean nothing When you're lying in your coffin Tell me who's been taken in Ohyou talk about the new boss automatic clause But of course they make it all up for you Always fascinated by the weird edge of town Come home disappointed every time they put you down Laughing with the old boyssaying that it's all noise I suppose big tears mean nothing You can count them as they fall Big tears mean nothing When you're lying in your coffin Tell me who's been taken in All the buttons of my overcoat They have fallen off one by one You wouldn't even like me if you'd never had a drink You wouldn't even like me if you never stopped to think Standing in the shadowturning wives to widows Don't you know big tears mean nothing You can count them as they fall Big tears mean nothing When you're lying in your coffin Tell me who's been taken in Tell meme or yous been taken in Tell metell metell me
