Unfamiliar Places - Maxïmo Park

I see a row of

Sleeping dogs

I see a poster

Of myself

Memorize the

Path I took

Waiting for sunrise to

Take me home

I think of you in unfamiliar places

Making you mind up for yourself

Don’t be scared of the life you’re making

Don’t be scared on your own

Don’t be scared of the life you’re making

Making decisions on your own

Your serious face

In a farce of no-one's making

Trying not to laugh out loud

I can’t imagine you on the plane

Interacting with other people

Taking advantage of the bar

Don’t be scared of the life you’re making

Don’t be scared on your own

Don’t be scared of the life you’re making

Making decisions on your own

Moral pins and needles;

I think of thieves escaping

Dark curls and dead eyes

In a doorway;

a dead spot

I think of you in unfamiliar places

Making your mind up for myself

Let other care when I’m careless;

I’ve got a taste for something special

Let others care when I am careless;

A useless scramble for protection

I think of you

In unfamiliar places
