[00:00:00] A Floating Life - Level 42

[00:00:02] Written by：Philip Gould/Mark King

[00:00:43] In your hands there's a photograph

[00:00:46] You look up she begins to laugh

[00:00:50] So cold as she walks away

[00:00:53] And you know that it's time to pay

[00:00:57] You're caught in a web you spun yourself

[00:01:00] Face to face with your failure this very day

[00:01:04] You call out her name you can't help yourself

[00:01:07] But you need love like you need a

[00:01:10] Kick in the head

[00:01:11] You worked hard for the things you own

[00:01:14] Fancy cars and a country home

[00:01:18] Gave it all for a glittering prize

[00:01:21] To be a face people recognize

[00:01:25] On the walls of your home there are works of art

[00:01:28] But you stare at the picture

[00:01:31] On the floor

[00:01:32] The face of a man with an aching heart

[00:01:35] It's no fun to be famous

[00:01:38] Anymore

[00:01:39] You said

[00:01:42] This is a sad day

[00:01:45] And I would gladly give it all away

[00:01:50] In exchange

[00:01:53] For a floating life

[00:02:07] Shed your tears for a shallow dream

[00:02:11] Let your cry be a primal scream

[00:02:14] A song through the mists of time

[00:02:18] A serenade to your concubine

[00:02:21] You were wrong to believe she could set you free

[00:02:25] You're trapped by the trappings

[00:02:28] Of success

[00:02:28] And you know the she'll never let you be

[00:02:32] 'Til the world knows the secrets

[00:02:35] You confessed

[00:02:35] You said

[00:02:38] I see her cruel face

[00:02:42] My heart is nothing but an empty space

[00:02:52] And on this sad day

[00:02:56] I would gladly give it all away

[00:03:01] In exchange

[00:03:03] For a floating life

[00:03:13] Neither asleep nor awake

[00:03:16] Losing control you start to shake

[00:03:19] As the day begins to break

[00:03:27] They're gonna shoot you down in flames

[00:03:30] When that girl starts naming names

[00:03:34] There's nowhere to hide from your shame

[00:04:34] I see her cruel face

[00:04:38] My heart is nothing but an empty space

[00:04:48] And on this sad day

[00:04:52] I would gladly give it all away

[00:04:57] In exchange

[00:04:58] For a floating life
