A Cut In a Place

Up on Solsbury hill
I'm watching satellites go by
Projecting all scenarios
Upon the midnight sky

Seeing myself falling
Seeing myself holding on
Driving down the boulevard
Passing myself on the run

O-oh-o-oh, o-oh-o-oh
All alone by the train tracks and bus lanes
O-oh-o-oh, o-oh-o-oh
Lost among the cutbacks and nightshade
O-oh-o-oh

It’s when you need some sympathy
And you’re met with apathy
O-oh-o-oh
When you’re breaking at the seams
And there’s nothing to do but bleed
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

From the eiffel tower
I can see you rule my world
Enact the scenes of power plays
Where I'm a distant third

It’s a fight on new year’s night
It’s a film in black and white
It’s a word you can’t take back
It’s a jump from such great heights

O-oh-o-oh, o-oh-o-oh
All alone by the train tracks and bus lanes
O-oh-o-oh, o-oh-o-oh

Lost among the cutbacks and nightshade
O-oh-o-oh
It’s when you need some sympathy
And you’re met with apathy
O-oh-o-oh
When you’re breaking at the seams
And there’s nothing to do but bleed

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh
Is worse than being hurt
O-oh-o-oh

O-oh-o-oh
All alone by the train tracks and bus lanes
O-oh-o-oh
Lost among the cutbacks and nightshade
O-oh-o-oh

O-oh-o-oh
And you’re met with apathy
O-oh-o-oh
When you’re breaking at the seams
O-oh-o-oh
And there’s nothing to do but bleed
O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh

O-oh-o-oh

It’s a cut in a place you’ve heard
O-oh-o-oh

O-oh-o-oh

O-oh-o-oh
O-oh-o-oh
O-oh-o-oh
