No Way Out - Joan Armatrading

This day started too early

Someone’s looking to bring me down

You never can tell when trouble

Trouble’s gonna come around

And there’s no way out

No way of going next in line

You could set up a fence

Put up a bench in line

Try as you might, you’re meek

And trouble, that person you would know

One thing leads to another

Sign of opposing stars

Friction in the wind

You forget how gentle you are

You know I try to keep out of sight

And out of danger

On the cover at a palm’s sweat

But I take on anybody

Stop trouble getting in my way

This day started too early

Someone’s looking to bring me down

You never can tell when trouble

Trouble’s gonna come around

One thing leads to another

Sign of opposing stars

There’s friction in the wind

And you forget how gentle you are

Friction in the wind

And you forget how gentle you are
