It takes you by surprise
It takes your breath away
You walk out into the light
And you know nothings gonna be the same
Take fright or take flight
Pick yourself up and do what's right
No-one can tell you, how it feels
Keep the situation in hand
Or you end up drowning in quicksand
There's only one way forward for you
Well your living on a knife edge
You bash you head against a wall
Place a bet on a long shot
And it doesn't pay at all
But the devils in the detail
As you wait for the cards to fall
Take fright or take flight
Pick yourself up and do what's right
No-one can tell you, how it feels
Keep the situation in hand
Or you end up drowning in quicksand
There's only one way forward for you
Gone gone gone
The shadows mark the remains of the day
And a beautiful sea of flowers
Will stand tall and light the way
Well your living on a knife edge
You bash you head against a wall
Place a bet on a long shot
And it doesn't pay at all
But the devils in the detail
As you wait for the cards to fall
Yeah he stole a little keepsake
To the victims heartbreak
They went on a holiday to fly the flag
And came home in a body bag
Well they keep on sticking their fingers in the pie
With their dirty littles lies
