Fish - Story From A Thin Wall Lyrics
I heard the battle raging on the other side of the wallBuried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it allEvery night when I hear you I dream of breaking down your doorAn avenging knight in shining armour to rescue you from it allFrom the family businessWhen I see you in the supermarketWith sunglasses in the shadeAverting your eyes from those staring questionsHow were those bruises madeIts family businessChildren clutching to your legsTheyve got so much they want to sayBut daddys sitting home and drunk againSo they bite their lips and prayAnd daddy dont like no strangers pryingAnd noses in his private affairsAnd if anyone asks from the socialWell, you fell down the stairsIts family businessSo I become an accessoryAnd I dont have an alibiTo the victim lying on my doorstepThe only way I can justifyIts family businesscause every day its getting harderTry to see, to go awayTo all the people that surround youYou have to sit them down and explainTo be the writing on the wall insideTo be the pledge you call your ownAnd if you run into the dayYou sure you know youll find a homeYou sure you know youll find a homeFind a homeYou sure, you sureThe traffic lights shine upon(? ) and the broken homeEveryone could be oh so far away(? ) and the white lines lead the wayLead the wayAnd the writing on the wallTheyre carving out the martyrs in stoneCouldve been the same this wayIt couldve been the same this wayTell them its the same todayWe could have been much youngerIt could have been much longerInto the real timeToo farYou run away todayTomorrowYou take away the timeYou took away my mindSomething to the light she saidEveryone is burningWe could have been much youngerShould have
