Lifeline - Catherine Wheel

Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat

Through every lifetime from scars that run deep

Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched

Book me the right train I’d love to nip back

Set up high above the Pyrenees

Set up high on the road of release

My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms

My aims, my itch, my foes, I’ve licked

My bed of flame my name

Spread myself round again

Spilled out my guts again

Think I might lay down again

Stitch me up I’m torn again

Follow the pipeline I laid it so deep

It flows out my window it flows out to sea

It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack

Book me the right plane I long to nip back

Set up high above the Pyrenees

Set up high on the road of relief

My lies, my lust, my truth, my trust

My league, my school, my game, my rules

My bed I’ve made, my grave

Spread myself round again

Spilled out my guts again

Think I might lay down again

Stitch me up I’m torn again

My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips

Are failing me

Combined with mixed up living

My victory is escaping me

La La La

The lifeline slips away
