Is it hard to wait
Drawn by your mongrel heart again
If you don't answer, would you want to be found out

You duck through the wind in your old blight on the town

Love is turning you out

Sliding worry round
I try to warn its waiting game
To bring that spectre down


And would it be wrong
To clamp down on your racing heart, love

And if they'd known, what sifted down to be found out
It's not what you deserve


Love is turning you out
Sliding worry round
I try to warn its waiting game

To bring that spectre down

Faster than you were going to allow

Turn out the lights or say get out
If you don't answer, would you want to be found now
Five days on, trapped by a wave


Love is turning you out
Sliding worry round

I try to warn this waiting game
To bring that spectre down


Black corn was soaking
You'll be cut down in the seedy stairway
If you don't answer, would you want to be found now

Sapped from the bed to the window

Looking back on that time

Starting in the minds
What it is to be twenty nine
Fame sets your life down


Would it be wrong
Would it be wrong

To disappoint you now
Disappoint you now
