‘been  living in  my best friend’s pocket
I’ve  been lookin at my  life
All  the time
  All the time
 How can I do  my work
Always  looking over  my shoulder
When  everything  falls apart
When  you make a false start  and you
Can’t  turn the pages  and you
 Can’t find the door when you’re
No  bodies’ baby  Not even close  to pulling through
 Main riff
 Man… man…
 We savour every hour
 Hunger for the touch of money
 Building crooked towers
 On the floor plan…floor plan…
 When I came running to you
 I was following the life in a dead star

  Can’t turn the pages
We  need a light that will open up this endless night
 MUTE hitG hitG F
  Can’t find the door
We  need a friend that will help us through this
 Impossible task…whoaoooh
