Here

Stranglers · Written In Red [1996]

Of silence in pieces here

Voices all disappear

Sacred inside

Doubled our silhouettes

One shape I can't forget

Tears the inside



Here could be sad if empty hands

Were what my head was resting in

Consider them protecting



Footsteps in paradise

Really moving through me now



It's cold lay your hands on me

Don't look into my eyes

I'm burning out the time



Here wrapped in all these chains

Only scent remains

Scares me inside



Feels like I'm sinking fast

Some moments never last

Keep it inside



It's just too bad that empty hands

Are what my head is resting in

I'm rendered unprotected



Fool steps in paradise

Really moving through me now



It's cold don't take your hand from me

They look into my eyes

I'm burning out the time



Footsteps in paradise

Fool steps
