Dead From The Heart Down

from Talk Of The Town by The Speedways

/

lyrics

She didn't say a word, she said it all with a sigh
till I remembered when we caught out luck with a lie
Was a confusing time could never make up our minds
now we don't talk no more, we're leading different lives
I had to find a way to say goodbye for the very first time

I waited in the place where you told me to be (dead from the heart down)
I waited there all night, I was too drunk to see (dead from the heart down)
your Medusa eyes, I turned into stone (dead from the heart down)
I couldn't walk no more, I had to stand there alone
I never should have listened to compromised friends, they always win in the end

We can try if you like to put it all behind us tonight
Every once in a while we'll reach the four corners of love
If it's too steep to climb oh maybe baby we could fly
Oh I try, I can't help it that the beat went out

There used to be a time when you needed to dance (dead from the heart down)
and send me back to school without a second chance (dead from the heart down)
Every line you wear it deepens by the years (dead from the heart down)
A disposable heart turns to paranoid fears
I had to find a way say goodbye for the very last time

We can try if you like to put it all behind us tonight
Every once in a while we'll reach the four corners of love
If it's too steep to climb oh maybe baby we could fly
Oh I try, I can't help it that the beat went out

Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
(she's my flatline girl)
