Russell Senior - Being Followed Home lyrics

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
