The Stranglers Follow

When you're in this game
It's the price you pay
Hey, what's it all about anyway?

When you're losing sleep
'Cause the ghosts won't hide
If you can't compete take a walk outside
Shame, do you think that you can
Pick up all the pieces?

You say the sun don't shine
That's when you'll find me
Laughing at the rain

Just like a dice the big wheel spins
I'm telling you now that there's
Nothing to gain if you lose or you win
Relax there's nothing you can do
About it anyway

Well, there's an open road
If you don't look back
So forget your bets and get on that track
Hey, you haven't got the time to waste

You say the sun don't shine
That's when you'll find me
Laughing at the rain

A word with the leader at token of faith
But just by the look you've got nothing to show
For the prayers that you gave
Angel, you haven't got the strength to fly
Bye bye

You've got broken wings
But they will heal in time
So let me take you down
Where the sun don't shine

Laughing at the rain
Laughing at the rain
Oh, I wish it would rain
Oh, I wish it would rain

When you're in this game
It's the price you pay
