Level 42 - A Floating Life
In your hands there's a photographYou look up, she begins to laughSo cold as she walks awayAnd you know that it's time to payYou're caught in a web you spun yourselfFace to face with your failure this very dayYou call out her name, you can't help yourselfBut you need love like you need a kick in the headYou worked hard for the things you ownFancy cars and a country homeGave it all for a glittering prizeTo be a face people recognizeOn the walls of your home there are works of artBut you stare at the picture on the floorThe face of a man with an aching heartIt's no fun to be famous anymoreYou said, "This is a sad dayAnd I would gladly give it all awayIn exchange for a floating life"Shed your tears for a shallow dreamLet your cry be a primal screamA song through the mists of timeA serenade to your concubineYou were wrong to believe she could set you freeYou're trapped by the trappings of successAnd you know that you'll never let you be'Til the world knows the secrets you confessedYou said, "I see her cruel faceMy heart is nothing but an empty spaceAnd on this sad day I would gladly give it all awayIn exchange for a floating life"Neither asleep nor awakeLosing control you start to shakeAs the day begins to breakThey're gonna shoot you down in flamesWhen that girl starts naming namesThere's nowhere to hide from your shameI see her cruel faceMy heart is nothing but an empty spaceAnd on this sad day I would gladly give it all awayIn exchange for a floating life
