Cosy Prisons - a-ha

Take a moment if you dare, catch yourself a breath of air

There’s another life out there and you should try it

Dead ends hide on every street, look before you place your feet

Cracks and fissures keep the beat and you’re inside it

Every thought you never dared to think

Every mood you always knew would sink

Every line you spoke out loud in a jest

All the time you took to be your best is soon forgotten

The sun must never touch your skin, it could expose the dark within

You’re paranoid about the paranoia

And panic hits without a sign, you worry about it all the time

Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

Cause everything makes your pretty head spin

Nagging thoughts are starting to sink in

With everything this way it’s better to forget

Than end up in a place with something to regret

Your transatlantic shopping spree, your health forever guarantees

Organic bio life’s a breeze in cozy prisons

But hiding out in a salad bar isn’t going to get you far

And bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow

And everything around it makes your pretty head spin

It’s piling up high and you’re back where you begin

Moments you tried so hard to forget

Are promising to have been the best one’s yet

Yeah, every time you shut your eyes it appears

Every time you trace your steps back here

None of your convictions have the same old ring

But no doubt you found a place for everything cozy prisons

So if you’re careful you won’t get hurt

But if your careful all the time then what’s it worth?
