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?
