Love Police
Collins, Phil
Dance Into The Light (1996)

Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll make it out of here,
but the wind blows round my heels, so I stay -
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
trying to find somehow to get away.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he'd show me how to fly,
'Cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.

Sometimes I sit here hearing voices in my head -
I try to understand, to make some sense.

I wonder, if I had to, would I lie to save myself?
A plea of guilty, but self defence.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he'd show me me how?
I'm sure he's out there listening, but he's too tied up right now to try

Try, all of my sins
'Cos I can't stop now,
just don't leave me behind.

Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll get out of here,
but the words stick in my throat and I stay.
I remember lying there, wishing I could be somewhere else,
trying to find somehow to get away.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he'd show me how to fly,
'Cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.
