Stranglers - The Light lyrics

And outside...the sky is falling

We were dodging raindrops, staying dry

And inside, I never gave a damn ’bout those outside people anyway

And it hurt me, they don’t even know I am

And inside...there’s no labels

And inside, I try I try I try, try to clear my head

And outside...the rain is drying

And inside, we’re dying

Cause in here, I’m staring at the rings my coffee cup has made on the table

And in here, I know I know I know, that this is as good as it gets

And in time I want to be the one that talks about the other hand

They want you now, count the cracks on the wall

Until it’s time to lay my head

And inside...I’m playing with shadows

And inside, I know I know I know, that I feel this way all day...all day

And outside, there’s hope for trying, and inside I’m dying

You walk before me, and lord knows I can’t follow

You walk behind me and I don’t think I can lead

You walk around me, please don’t walk around me cause you know how dizzy I get
