The Streets - Lock The Locks Lyrics
(feat. Clare Maguire)I had a funny dream and I came to screaming That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mineAnd I was with you only it wasn't youIt happened in the past but it was somehow nowIt put it into focus, things became clearI had to plan something I handed in my noticeEven though to most it looked randomMy heart had left I was just going in tandem[Chorus:](I smoked one too many cigarettesI heard one too many liesAnd I've gambled on too many betsI lost it all to this life)I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leaveI'll leave one evening be seen offAt a party for my parting in a barIt starts on the early side and ends in a gutterWith a fumble with a colleague in a carNo more alarm that barks in the darkWith the beeping like darts to the heartYes, the maze it does look deepAnd days are over for dozing on my cheek(I smoked one too many cigarettesI heard one too many liesAnd I've gambled on too many betsI lost it all to this life)I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leaveRead the funny card signed by allThat was purchased by the person I will always recallLock away my labors, steel stationaryA kiss on the lips or a grin in a gripI had a funny dream and I came to screaming That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mineAnd I was with you only it wasn't youIt happened in the past but it was somehow nowI came to it noon through the tune of a spoonIn a mug in a room, but I knew very soonThat the mug in the room, was the mug yours trulyBecause I never stood up for what I wanted to do(I smoked one too many cigarettesI heard one too many liesAnd I've gambled on too many betsI lost it all to this life)I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave(I smoked one too many cigarettesI heard one too many liesAnd I've gambled on too many betsI lost it all too this...I smoked one too many cigarettesI heard one too many liesAnd I've gambled on too many betsI lost it all too this life)I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave (...to this life)
