Stranglers - Non Stop lyrics

Our Eyes are bleeding

Courtesy of everything

That you could ever want to hide

Our veins are dry

Sometimes the truth cuts deeper

Than the sharpest knife

Looking is an awkward feeling

When you're beaten down

Anything to stop the burning

We've been running all around

We just survive

Too busy occupied with dying to

Stop and consider life

So many pretty pretty pictures

On the walls an on our fingertips

Let's sew the borders round it

Losing is an awkward feeling

When your bleeded down

Ain't no way to stop the burning

We've been running all around ourselves

And it's the choices that we choose

In our everyday abuse

Just a short solution to a long term problem

I stabbed myself just for the scar

To see if I could feel something

And it's the choices that we choose

Cause we're all prophetic fools

Just a short solution to a long term problem

I need

Just one more thing

To be completely blinded

Shoot it up, shoot it in,

Buried it under all this callous skin

Losing is an awkward feeling

When your bleeded down

Ain't no way to stop the burning

We've been running all around ourselves

And it's the choices that we choose

In our everyday abuse

Just a short solution

To a long term problem everyone

Innocence is way overrated now

Choking this sober feeling down

I guess you've come over me

So define lonely
