Текст песни A-Ha - Cosy Prisons

Take a moment if you dare 
Catch yourself a breath of air 
There's another life out there 
And you should try it 
Dead-ends hide on every street 
Look before you place your feet 
Cracks and fissures keep the beat 
And you're inside it 

Every thought you never dared to think 
Every move you always knew would sink 
Every line you spoke out loud in jest 
All the time it took to be 
your best is soon forgotten 

The sun must never touch your skin 
It could expose the dark within - 
You're paranoid about the paranoia 
And panic hits without a sign 
You worry 'bout it all the time 
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning 

Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin 
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in 
And everything this way is better to forget 
Than end up in a place with something to regret 

Your transatlantic shopping-sprees 
Your health-forever guarantees 
Organic-bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons 
But hiding out in a salad bar 
Isn't going to get you far 
Bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow 

And everything around here 
makes your pretty head spin 
It's piling up high – 
you're back where you begin 

Moments you have tried so hard to forget 
Are promising to've been the best ones yet 

Yeah, everytime you shut your eyes it appears 
Everytime you trace your steps back here 
None of your convictions have the same old ring 
But no doubt you will find a place for everything 
In cosy prisons 

So if you're careful 
You won't get hurt 
But if you're careful all the time 
Then what's it worth?
