A Floating Life (Demo Version) - Level 42[00:00:00]
Written by:Philip Gould/Mark King[00:00:02]
In your hands there's a photograph[00:00:43]
You look up she begins to laugh[00:00:46]
So cold as she walks away[00:00:50]
And you know that it's time to pay[00:00:53]
You're caught in a web you spun yourself[00:00:57]
Face to face with your failure this very day[00:01:00]
You call out her name you can't help yourself[00:01:04]
But you need love like you need a[00:01:07]
Kick in the head[00:01:10]
You worked hard for the things you own[00:01:11]
Fancy cars and a country home[00:01:14]
Gave it all for a glittering prize[00:01:18]
To be a face people recognize[00:01:21]
On the walls of your home there are works of art[00:01:25]
But you stare at the picture[00:01:28]
On the floor[00:01:31]
The face of a man with an aching heart[00:01:32]
It's no fun to be famous[00:01:35]
Anymore[00:01:38]
You said[00:01:39]
This is a sad day[00:01:42]
And I would gladly give it all away[00:01:45]
In exchange[00:01:50]
For a floating life[00:01:53]
Shed your tears for a shallow dream[00:02:07]
Let your cry be a primal scream[00:02:11]
A song through the mists of time[00:02:14]
A serenade to your concubine[00:02:18]
You were wrong to believe she could set you free[00:02:21]
You're trapped by the trappings[00:02:25]
Of success[00:02:28]
And you know the she'll never let you be[00:02:28]
'Til the world knows the secrets[00:02:32]
You confessed[00:02:35]
You said[00:02:35]
I see her cruel face[00:02:38]
My heart is nothing but an empty space[00:02:42]
And on this sad day[00:02:52]
I would gladly give it all away[00:02:56]
In exchange[00:03:01]
For a floating life[00:03:03]
Neither asleep nor awake[00:03:13]
Losing control you start to shake[00:03:16]
As the day begins to break[00:03:19]
They're gonna shoot you down in flames[00:03:27]
When that girl starts naming names[00:03:30]
There's nowhere to hide from your shame[00:03:34]
I see her cruel face[00:04:34]
My heart is nothing but an empty space[00:04:38]
And on this sad day[00:04:48]
I would gladly give it all away[00:04:52]
In exchange[00:04:57]
For a floating life[00:04:58]
