about

A song of paranoia.

That's it I think.

lyrics

Have you ever been held in a cold, grey cell
in the darkest place, only walls to face
have you ever been scared to go home at night
to answer your door, they might be there to
pick you up and lock you away for the night

have you ever felt hunted,
not safe where you live,

You’re a Fugitive

Don’t go to this place, you can’t talk to him
don’t pass my doorway, you’ll be in trouble again
Have you ever felt hounded within an inch of despair
and you can’t understand just why she’d want to drive you there

and you can’t forget
she won’t let you forgive

You’re a Fugitive

Now, it’s a fatal attraction get’s you into this mess
and the more that you’re drawn in the more you find that more is less
A wise, wise man learns to calm himself down
cos if you live by the sword, it will surely cut you down

I hope you never get busted,
hope you never have to live

Like a Fugitive

Well I’m not leaving my house, changing my name, hiding in doorways, weeping in shame
I won’t be hounded out, if that’s her aim, I’m not going to play that stupid game

I’m only looking for justice,
it must be found,
the future’s uncertain
but I’m not going down

I won’t travel the highways
that’s no way to live

I won’t be a Fugitive
