Andy Fairweather Low - Lighten Up lyrics

I've blazed across this city
Broken through the flames
Sold my reflection to ease out the pain
But I'm running out of favours
And running out of doors
I just can't even up the score

Lighten up don't shoot me down
Let my feet lay on the ground

There's been so many changes and
Some I just can't take
So I remember so much and
Leave the rest to fate
Cos I feel like I'm a stranger
Feel like I'm a slave
I'm a prisoner to my lonely grave

Lighten up don't shoot me down
Let my feet lay on the ground

There's been so many changes and
Some I just can't take
So I remember so much and
Leave the rest to fate
Cos I feel like I'm a stranger
Feel like I'm a slave
I'm a prisoner to my lonely grave

Lightеn up don't backslide yourself away
Lighten up cos it all comes back one day
Lighten up, watch what you do and say
Take good care you don't backslide away

I've backed up all my chances
Played out all the cards
Everyone's told me I'm trying so hard
But I'm owed the blood of
Diamonds not rattlesnakes and chains
And that's what's driving me insane

Lighten up don't shoot me down
Let my feet lay on the ground

There's been so many changes and
Some I just can't take
So I remember so much and
Leave the rest to fate
Cos I feel like I'm a stranger
Feel like I'm a slave
I'm a prisoner to my lonely grave
