Can't Let Go Lyrics - The Bride Stripped Bare - Bryan Ferry

Well I rush out blazing 

'My pulse is racin' 

As the rain streams down my face 

There's no turning back now 

To fight with fate 

Outnumbered 'n out of place 

They said go west young man, that's best 

It's there you'll feel no pain 

Bel-air's okay if you dig the grave 

But I want to live again 

Can't let go 

There's a madness in my soul tonight 

Can't let go 

Must ride like the storm 

Can't let go 

Will I run out of control tonight 

Can't let go 

Until every trace is gone 

It's a winding road from cuesta way 

Down sunset to the beach 

Though Canoga Park is a straight safe drive 

It's too far out of reach 

But now the headlights are flashin' by so fast 

All directions seems the same 

And the windscreen wipers keep a beat repeatin' 

You can't let go again 

What's in a name on the street tonight 

I'm only a face in the crowd 

All in the dark and afraid tonight 

Nowhere to run or to hide 

But I can't let go 

Sometimes the world outside'll take you in 

With just a smile 

And you so blinded with desire 

A hundred sleepless nights have left me 

Wasted and so cold 

But I can take it I'm hangin' on 

Can't let go 

There's a madness in my soul tonight 

Can't let go 

Must ride it like the storm 

Can't let go 

Will I run out of control tonight 

Can't let go 

Until every trace is gone
