Madness - One's Second Thoughtlessness Lyrics

(Thompson/Woodgate)

Reaching up to press my best friend's bell
On my tiptoes
Whatever made me climb this side of hell
Oh, God only knows

Lifting up another catch and slipping through the blind
It's... it's so easy
Lighting up another match to see what I can find
It's... become so easy

But after a while
You can hear yourself breathe
What seems a long long while
You can feel yourself sealed

Ones second thoughtlessness
Nobody's home
One's second thoughtlessness

One's second thoughtlessness
Here up on my own
One's second thoughtlessness

Sniffing around hope to get out
Smelling a scent that something is up
I've seen this song before
Is this the house my family lives - yes
Ah, I've been here before
Yessss, I did it because, because
Yessss, I did it because
Yessss, I did it because, because
Yes, yes, I did it I did it because, because
No - because

One's second thoughtlessness
I am my own
One's second thoughtlessness

One's second thoughtlessness
As I stand alone
One's second thoughtlessness
