A-ha Cosy Prison Lyrics

Cosy Prison Lyrics

Words and music by Magne Furuholmen



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 a jest

All the time you took to be your best

Soon forgotten



The sun must never touch your skin

It could expose the dark within

You're paranoid about the paranoia



And panic hits without a sign

You worry about it all the time

Every perfect moment is a hidden warning



Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin

And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in

With everything this way it's better to forget

Than end up in a place with something to regret



Your transatlantic shopping spree

Your health forever guarantees

Organic -bio-life's a breeze in cosy prisons



But hiding out in a salad bar

Isn't gonna get you far

and bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow



Everything around here makes your pretty head spin

Its piling up high and you're back where you begin

Moments you have tried so hard to forget

Are promising to 've been the best one's yet



Everytime you shut your eyes it appears

Everytime you trace your steps back here

None of your convictions have the same old ring

No doubt you found a place for everything

In cosy prisons



So if you're careful

You won't get hurt

But if your careful all the time

then what's it worth
