Words and music by Magne Furuholmen
|
|
Take a moment if you dare
|
Catch yourself a breath of air
|
There's another life out there
|
And you should try it
|
|
Dead ends hide on every street
|
Look before you place your feet
|
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
|
And you're inside it
|
|
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
|
|
The sun must never touch your skin
|
It could expose the dark within
|
You're paranoid about the paranoia
|
|
And panic hits without a sign
|
You worry about it all the time
|
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning
|
|
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
|
|
Your transatlantic shopping spree
|
Your health forever guarantees
|
Organic -bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons
|
|
But hiding out in a salad bar
|
Isn't gonna get you far
|
and bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow
|
|
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 've been the best one's yet
|
|
Everytime you shut your eyes it appears
|
Everytime 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
|
|
So if you're careful
|
You won't get hurt
|
But if your careful all the time
|
then what's it worth
|
