Stranglers - In This Place lyrics

should I defend you for who you are?

the laws are changed and useless!

on their way to a deserted town

where empty windows wave goodbye

a helpless excuse, a falling reality

I'm changed by the shock

and the weight of the punch

a helpless excuse, a falling reality

Fragments of a futile being

a puzzle to the noble ones

ignorant and pitiless they stride

the world around me -

spartanic, minimalistic

a helpless excuse, a falling reality

the large scale plan that once where

you've now drained from life

a helpless excuse, a falling reality

who knows the proper reasons

why it all begins and ends?

ignorant and pitiless they stride

"you are but a form",

the clean, harsh silence passes

"genuine" visions by the noble

ones for the noble ones
