Del Amitri - Scared To Live lyrics

Walk into the lightning of
A midnight bulletin
Our brave new world sit's smiling
With egg on it's chin
And love gets so lazy, love gets so slow
We stopped making love in the hours
Of daylight too many moons ago

But now that we've given all
That we have to give
Maybe we're just scared to live

Since I go so blinkered to
Nothing else but you
I've been playing for each cheap reward
Like game show gluttons do
And love's the honest truth Babe
And love's such a beautiful lie
So don't look so confused Honey
Know it's true tonight
But now that I've given all
That I have to give
Maybe I'm just scared to live

Why can't I wake up and
Make something of my life
Why can't I wake up to this life

How can you have no faith in
This your own home town?
Can't you practice a little discretion
Play the whole thing down
And since you got so blinkered to the
Highs and lows of a hopeless thing
Maybe you can take this heart and
Pass it on to him

Now that I've given all that I have to give
Maybe I'm just scared to live

Maybe you can take this heart and
Pass it on to him
