Lost On You

Echo And The Bunnymen · What Are You Going To Do With Your Life? [1999]

It's just a dangerous bend on a slippery slope

Another rainbow's end on the highway of hope

It's always next time, always next time

Always last time



So get me out of this jam

It's stuck to me like glue

And I can't remember who I am

My memory got lost on you



I had things inside my head

And they put me behind them

Thought they'd be safe in my head

And now I just can't find them



It's just a trick of light

And some sleight of hand

Another kiss goodnight

Along the rise of man



And it's the last time

It's the last time till the next time



Just get me out of this jam

It's stuck to me like glue

And I can't remember who I am

My memory got lost on you



I had things inside my head

And they put me behind them

Thought they'd be safe in my head

And now I just can't find them



Get me out of this jam

It's stuck to me like glue

And I can't remember who I am

My memory got lost on you



I had things inside my head

And they put me behind them

Thought they'd be safe in my head

And now I just can't find them



I had things inside my head

And they put me behind them

Thought they'd be safe in my head

And now I just can't find them



It's gone and that's too bad

The best thing that I ever had

Had the whole world in my mouth

Ate it up and spat it out



It's gone and that's too bad

The best thing that I ever had

Had the whole world in my mouth

Ate it up and spat it out
