The Big Exit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm burning in my skin, an alcoholic dim,
Fills the room we're in
Girl, I think it's time to leave,
Like a thief on Christmas Eve,
Take and you shall receive
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside.
Won't crowd amongst the shadows,
See how much our love glows,
Reflected in shop windows,
I love you as my blood flows,
As the rain ruins my best clothes,
You're a secret only I know
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Ahh!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Damn the passing hours,
Damn the summer flowers,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours.
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside.
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside.
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours,
They took what once was ours.
...(continuing in the background)
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside.
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside.
