On to the Next

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
