Life On the Balcony - City Boy

Tell me please, is there life out on the balcony?

Do we still hear noises in the dark, striking sparks and fires

Tell me dear, how many ghosts you hide in here

I hear voices on the telephone, when there’s no-one home

Just me Life on the balcony

Are you sure, no-one stands behind the bedroom door?

Hands around the curtain cord, waiting for the light…

I could swear, I heard someone walking down the stairs

he was calling out your name, dream again, I guess

Will you let me out of here, I feel so alone

You treat me like a prisoner, turn my heart to stone

Statues in the living room, paintings in the hall

Lovers on the balcony, waiting in the cold

Life on the balcony…

I can see you hold others here as well as me Wrapped in chains and jealousy, set them free…

Now I’m sure I don’t want to live here anymore

Collecting dust an battle scars

taken for your fool

Will you let me out of here…
