Stranglers - Still Life lyrics

While standing naked at the window watching the night

The thunder crashing all the lightening and the rain

I wondered if I could or even if I should

Attempt to see you or be with you ever again

Your smile is painted on a thousand faces

Still lying in my mouth still blowing through my hair

My legs are strong but they won't carry me away

Keep hiding sheets of lead what's that the things you said

While eyes are heavy they won't promise me to sleep

Your smile is painted on a thousand places

What of me now as I fade still life goes by

Cold sweat you haunt my skin

Your fingers echoing your name is written here in blood of life of sin?

Still burning on my bed your light goes out I'm dead

Who says the heads the law has nothing left to break

Your smile is painted on a thousand dreams I can't forget

What of me now as I fade still life goes by

What of me now here I stay and still life goes by
