The Stranglers - Still Life lyrics

While standing naked at the window watching the night The thunder crashing all the lightening and the rain I wondered if I could or even if I should Attempt to see you or be with you ever again Your smile is painted on a thousand faces Still lying in my mouth still blowing through my hair My legs are strong but they won't carry me away Keep hiding sheets of lead what's that the things you said While eyes are heavy they won't promise me to sleep Your smile is painted on a thousand places What of me now as I fade still life goes by Cold sweat you haunt my skin Your fingers echoing your name is written here in blood of life of sin? Still burning on my bed your light goes out I'm dead Who says the heads the law has nothing left to break Your smile is painted on a thousand dreams I can't forget What of me now as I fade still life goes by What of me now here I stay and still life goes by
