Life In Detail — текст песни (Robert Palmer)

Who could tell just what might happen ?
Sometimes you`re gonna feel a shock.
You got your carbonet - you think you`re laughin`
It may hit you like a ton of rock.

You see your life in detail
such a close-up view
from another angle
like another you

It`s that feelin` again
do you remember when ?
you were so confused
you knew ever y thing

You thought that happiness was automatic
That you were livin` in MEAN time

It`s that feelin` again
do you remember when ?
you had it all sown-up
And then you call a friend

A, like a life in detail
such a close-up view
like a mirrored image
of another you

{Instrumental interlude}

You were after Mr. Energenic
Now you wonder why you feel so alone
that you`re under anethestetic
makes you wonder where you`re comin` from

It`s like the feelin` again
do you remember when ?
you were so convinced
you knew everything

like a life in detail
such a close-up view
from another angle
like another you.
