I'm being followed home
I'm being followed home
I don't know what for
I don't know by whom
The smell of your dress
A face in the rain
The pavement shines wet
In focus again
Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Oh
In a dead seaside town
I tried to change my mind
For a well-balanced view
That was not mine to find
Heaven knows, all your
Stars are on show, they last a lifetime
And your hands leave their
Marks in the sand, they last for ever
For ever
It's clear to me:
You fit so perfectly
In a dimly lit room
Just inside of the sea
His twisted face
Tells me to leave this place
You know somewhere
But I shouldn't go there, I shouldn't go there
Heaven knows, all your
Stars are on show, they last a lifetime
And your hands leave their
Marks in the sand, they last for ever
They've followed me home -
The one with the dog-breath in the tattoo bar
Says something in a language that I don't uderstand
The street stinks of piss and dead fish
Jump a garden wall, landing on the slimy gra**
Air roaring in my lungs
Hear him swear as he stumbles and falls behind me
Down another cobbled street, footsteps bouncing off the walls
Which way?
A bottle smashes
The glint of a blade in the moonlight
Someone laughs, the corners turned... and it's too late
The first blow falls... then nothing
I awoke on the beach sometime later
To a grey and sunless sky
Your voice still slithers in my head
I can't remember what you said
I get to my feet, my body aches
I make for the town for no-one's sake
My mind is a blur, I feel so weak
I see your reflection in the street
"It's what you deserve, it's what you need
Just like those stupid books you read."
I look to the sky, I see your face
Collapse in the road I hear you say
I shouldn't go there, I shouldn't go there!
My wound's healing now
And your imprint fades
Now just a pale scar
For five vanished days
Your voice is so weak
Your face is unclear
Your body a legend from a forgotten year
I've been followed home
I've been followed home
I've been followed home
I've been followed home
