Scoundrel Days Lyrics - Scoundrel Days - A-ha

Was that somebody screaming? 

It wasn't me for sure 

I lift my head up from uneasy pillows 

Put my feet on the floor 

Cut my wrist on a bad thought 

And head for the door 

Outside on the pavement 

A dog makes a noise 

I can feel the sweat on my lips 

Leaking into my mouth 

I'm heading out for the steep hills 

They're leaving me no choice 

And see as our lives are in the making 

We believe through the lies and the hating 

That love goes free

For want of an option 

I run the wind 'round 

I dream pictures of houses burning 

Never knowing nothing else to do 

And with death comes the morning 

Unannounced and new 

Was it too much to ask for 

To pull a little weight 

They forgive everything but greatness 

These are scoundrel days 

And I'm close to calling out their names 

As pride hits my face 

And see as our lives are in the making 

We believe through their lies and the hating 

That love goes free 

Through scoundrel days

I reach the edge of town 

I've got blood in my hair 

Their hands touch my body 

From everywhere 

But I know that I've made it 

As I run into the air 

And see as our lives are in the making 

We believe through their lies and the hating 

That love goes free 

Through scoundrel days
