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 move you always knew would sink
Every line you spoke out loud in jest
All the time it took to be your best is 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 'bout 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
And everything this way is better to forget
Than end up in a place with something to regret
Your transatlantic shopping-sprees
Your health-forever guarantees
Organic-bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons
But hiding out in a salad bar
Isn't going to get you far
Bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow
And everything around here makes your pretty head spin
It's piling up high ? you're back where you begin
Moments you have tried so hard to forget
Are promising to've been the best ones yet
Yeah, everytime you shut your eyes it appears
Everytime you trace your steps back here
None of your convictions have the same old ring
But no doubt you will find a place for everything
In cosy prisons
So if you're careful
You won't get hurt
But if you're careful all the time
Then what's it worth?
Take a moment if you dare
Catch yourself a breath of air
There's another life out there
