What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where we used to talk
How shall I fill the final places
How shall I complete the wall
What shall we do now:
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.

lyrics
shall we buy a new guitar
shall we try a more powerful car
shall we work straight through the night
shall we get in to fights leave the lights on
drop bombs
do tours of the east
contract disease
bury bones
break up homes
send flower by phone
take to drink
go to shrinks
give up meat
rarely sleep
keep people as pets
train dogs
race rats
fill the attic with cash
bury treasure
store up leisure
but never relax at all
with our backs to the wall

"our backs to the wall" hit the E at "wall"
What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where we used to talk
How shall I fill the final places
How shall I complete the wall
What shall we do now:
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.
