In a While - The Stranglers

It’s 45 in the shade

This fire can’t escape

Losing sleep in my dreams

Coldsweat I’m somewhere in between

Someday soon I’ll find the strength to lose

Then I’ll find the wisdom of the fool

And make some sense of it all

Slipped under the ice

Cool death it made me shiver

Pretty soon I’ll be free

Won’t have to rule over all I see

I don’t want to fight the world

I only came to see it

Not a day tripper

Just let me stay, just let me stay

Don’t wanna piece your scene

But this blood gotta hook me in

Last drinks at the bar

And all the way doesn’t seem too far

Sometime soon you’ll find the strength to lose

Spread your wings and someday you will choose

Your making sense of it all

I don’t want to fight world

I only came to see it

Not a day tripper

Just let me stay

Don’t let me fake it, I want to stay

I don’t want to fight the world
