Lyrics
Do not punish the few
Snakes shed their skin
I am not dead, neither am i alive
Beauty in life the deeper you dive
Seeing as i had no place to live
No place to go
Soon i had to learn
To move like a snake
As the city turned to sand beneath my feet
I've never had no holiday
No weekend break
You took the days from me
Now i'm bitter but with my friends i'm back together piece by piece
While Lowry paints the chimney tops
His stickmen live and breath inside of me
I am not dead, neither am i alive
Beauty in life the deeper you dive
Seeing as i had no dreams to follow
They'd follow me
But the panic of a youth dawning running through the streets
Down the rainy lane onto the grey old riverside
You were eleven years old you didn't need to know
(To see the dead body)
Soon the magic will end
Snakes shed their skin in continuous sin
I am not dead, neither am i alive
Beauty in life the deeper you dive
Seeing as she had no one to follow she'd follow me
But you wanted to leave the lads to play so Mary, Mary be free
Down the garden path and round the corner past the park
All the years would disappear in our secret place
I'm going to leave no stone unturned no street unwalked
Soon i have to find that all this has some meaning
The leaning tower's leaning but it never falls
Pressure on the morning to push on to the night till morning comes
But the night's still young
Soon the magic will end
Snakes shed their skin in continuous sin
I am not dead, neither am i alive
Beauty in life the deeper you dive
