Jack Bruce - Face Lift 318 lyrics

318 It's a house in a street with a promise like you've Never seen 318 It's a place in the sun with the people who run Through the dream 318 It's escape from the cage when the pickings start to Get too lean Really clean It's a new lease of life and the money makes the Knife real keen They say you can forget about the future Everything will be fine Well, more or less And you will never have to fear tomorrow If you just sign away your consciousness 318 Now the mirror is red and the pool is slowly turning Green Soothing cream I know some of my parts are the start of someone Else's scheme They say that you lose all your inhibitions Everything will be cool If you can come And you will always find the right position If you just read the writing back to front And you will never have to beg or borrow If you just hide away your restlessness You're sick and tired of the way time is going And nothing comes out right although you try Need to reverse the way your body's growing You've got to stop the way life pa**es by You've got a mortgage on your desperation And love just slips away Leaves you the bills You know you're coming to that final station Beyond the trees you see the hills
