Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All of those people

Everywhere

Ever so needing

Where's it all leading?

Tell me where

Nothing insincere

[Chorus]

I'd better have pity

I'd better go easy

I never will lay down

While my heart is still beating

[Verse 2]

Where's it all leading?

Walk on air

Am I still dreaming?

Where's it all leading?

Words to spare

Lost in their meaning

I think

[Chorus]

I'd better be strong now

I'd better stop dreaming

My heart has flown away now

Will it never stop bleeding?

Written by: Andy Mackay, Bryan Ferry
