Intro

Verse 1

Take a moment if you dare

Catch yourself a breath of air

There's another life out there

 And you should try it

Verse 2

Dead ends hide on every street

Look before you place your feet

Cracks and fissures keep the beat

 And you're inside it

Refrain 1

Every thought you never dared to think

Every mood you always knew would sink

Every line you spoke out loud in a jest

All the time you took to be your best

Soon forgotten

Verse 3

 The sun must never touch your skin

 It could expose the dark within

 You're paranoid a-bout the para-noia

 And panic hits with-out a sign

 You worry about it all the time

Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

Refrain 2

 Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin

 And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in

 With everything this way it's better to forget

 Than end up in a place with something to regret

Verse 4

 Your transatlantic shopping spree

 Your health forever guarantees

 Or-ganic bio life's a breeze in cosy prisons

 But hiding out in the salad bar

Isn't gonna get you far

 And bottled wine is vinegar to-morrow

Refrain 3

Everything around here makes your pretty head spin

 Its piling up high and you're back where you begin

Moments you have tried so hard to forget

 Are promising to have been the best ones yet

Refrain 4

Every time you shut your eyes it appears

Every time you trace your steps back here

None of your convictions have the same old ring

No doubt you found a place for everything

 In cosy prisons

Verse 5

So if you're careful

 You won't get hurt

 But if you're careful all the time

 then what's it worth

I hope I've done it justice!
