Paroles de Street Of Orange Light
I tried to do it allI found I had to fall
I tried the church on Sundays
Got up for work on Mondays
I've climbed through it all
Great expectations subside
Lay my ambitions aside
All I can do is survive
And untie all the mysteries
In heart and in mind
Skateboards and snowballs
First time I threw my fist
Paint walls with band names
Broken bottle scarred my wrist
First kiss in plaster cast
Now the doorway's boarded up
Memory of my mother saying goodbye
As she walked right off
To work on the factory floor
I failed to understand
I'm all but just a man
I'm skin and bone and muscle Lay my ambitions aside
All I can do is survive
And untie all the mysteries
In heart and in mind
Deckchairs and mixtapes
And sand beneath my toes
Haircuts and trainers
I wish would wash ashore
Rain watching, doorsteps
In sleeping bags at night
Change channel with a pool stick
On our street of orange light
And it feels so right
Lay my ambitions aside
All I can do is survive
And untie all the mysteries
In heart and in mind
Skateboards and snowballs
First time I threw my fist
Paint walls with band names
Broken bottle scarred my wrist
First kiss in plaster cast
Now the doorway's boarded up
Memory of my mother saying goodbye
As she walked right off
To work on the factory floor
I failed to understand
I'm all but just a man
I'm skin and bone and muscle Lay my ambitions aside
All I can do is survive
And untie all the mysteries
In heart and in mind
Deckchairs and mixtapes
And sand beneath my toes
Haircuts and trainers
I wish would wash ashore
Rain watching, doorsteps
In sleeping bags at night
Change channel with a pool stick
On our street of orange light
And it feels so right
