Your rictus smile is giving way like pressure building in a hose So much for rolling with the punch instead you took it on the nose Tell me that you're doing well It must be snowing in Hell Who thought it all to be a game until the day the dice were thrown? No consolation prize you're taking only disappointment home Say you're happy with the cards they dealt Like butter wouldn't ever melt Good will has jumped out of the window to a hundred storey fall Yet still you think your faith will be enough to see you through it all Sleeping through the wake-up bell It must be snowing in Hell

You know you cant dissolve into thin air And neither can you stand there and despair It's right behind you each and every where Wherever you go trouble will find you Now it knows your name it won't forget Just like your shadow marks your every step And in the face of everyone you've ever met Wherever you go trouble will follow It's the cold of night the creaking of the stairs It's the sound of endless ringing in your ears It's the sickly taste of salt within your tears No matter how you cry trouble won't spare you Try hiding but it's already too late Try running 'til your legs won't take your weight In each and every road you'll ever take No matter how you run trouble will catch you You know you cant dissolve into thin air And neither can you stand there and despair It's right behind you each and every where Wherever you go trouble will find you

When you look into eyes of strangers There's always danger that you won't like what you see Faces cold, secrets best left untold Curiosity grabs hold and it won't leave until you're old It's all gone wrong and now you're getting sleepless nights You're getting paranoid and won't switch out the lights Maybe you're gonna run, maybe you're gonna hide I'm under you're skin When you look into eyes of strangers There's always danger that you won't like what you see Thoughts unpure, maybe you're just not sure Who or what you're running from and will it follow to your door It's all gone wrong and now you're getting sleepless nights You're getting paranoid and won't switch out the lights Maybe you're gonna run, maybe you're gonna hide I'm under you're skin And deep down inside Smoke curls up like a rope up to the heavens Half-extinguished cigarette now marks the place your eyes had met It's all gone wrong and now you're getting sleepless nights You're getting paranoid and won't switch out the lights Maybe you're gonna run, maybe you're gonna hide I'm under you're skin And deep down inside

Barbara 03:12
wandered lonely in the crowd Until some eyes stared out aloud She had convinced me she was same But it was all part of a game Played by Barbara Now I flinch at every mention of your name Barbara And it seems I've only got myself to blame Barbara So I disclosed just how I felt I should have kept it to myself She had been talking around the town And now I'm never gonna live it down Thanks to Barbara Now I flinch at every mention of your name Barbara And it seems I've only got myself to blame Barbara
