The Space Inside Songtext
von Soft Cell

Forever (forever)
Together (together)
Looking for a place
To escape the empty space inside

In the night lights of New York
Where secrets seldom show
There′s a tale of dreams and pleasures
Only whispers know

Leaning on the bar
Their souls are on display
All searching for redemption
In the night's decay

When darkness takes its hold
A world where passion′s sold
A chance to be set free
In the night lights of New York


They walk the boulevards
Beneath the starry sky
Aching souls in leather
With painted masks they hide

Forever (forever)
Together (together)
Looking for a place
To escape the empty space inside (space inside)

Trading warmth for paper dreams
A fragile kind of lust
In the shadows they entrust
Their bodies turn to dust

Behind those vacant eyes
A story lies untold
A fragile heart that's been bruised
In search of something bold

Forever (forever)
Together (together)
Looking for a place
To escape the empty space inside


Forever (forever)
Together (together)
Looking for a place
To escape the empty space inside

Shadows, they revive
A tapestry of souls
Though society may judge
They're more than what it shows

So let us not judge them
For their chosen way
For they′re just seeking love
In a world of disarray

Forever (forever)
Together (together)
Looking for a place
To escape the empty space inside

In dreams they find a spark
A chance to be set free
And love will fill the space
Forever dancing wild and free

Their laughter echoes softly
As they bare their scars
To illuminate the darkness
Beneath the distant stars
