Wire - Another the Letter Lyrics

Passed to hand, behind the curtain
Letter brings change, now things are uncertain
Hand to hand, letter moves on
Like a series of shocks, like a series of shocks
Like a series of shocks, like a series of shocks
Like a series of shocks, but the contents are known

Oh, faint heart, when the letter arrives
You suddenly find things looking lifesize
Lifesize, lifesize, lifesize

Once the air rang with things unsaid
Now cruel outlines aren't easily read
Behind the curtain in the yellow bulb light
In the yellow bulb light, in the yellow bulb light
In the yellow bulb light, in the yellow bulb light
In the yellow bulb light, in the yellow bulb light

The letter reads
"Took my own life"
