Cosy Prisons Songtext
von a‐ha

So if you′re careful
You won't get hurt
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 mood you always knew would sink
Every line you spoke out loud in jest
All the time you took to be your best
Soon forgotten
Soon forgotten


The sun must never touch your skin
It could expose the dark within
Paranoia about the paranoia
Panic hits without a sign
You worry about it all the time
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

Your transatlantic shopping sprees
Your health forever guaranteed
Organic bio lives a breeze
In cozy prison
Hiding out in the salad bar
Isn't gonna get you far
Bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow

Everything around it makes your pretty head spin
It′s piling up high, you′re back where you begin
Moments you tried so hard to forget
Promising to be the best one yet
Yeah, every time you shut your eyes it appears
Every time you freeze you step back this
None of your convictions have the same old ring
No doubt you'll find a place for everything


In cozy prison
So if you′re careful
You won't get hurt
Cozy prison
Cozy prison
Cozy prison

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