Attention To Life

For once, will you please try
And pay attention to your life?
You called me from the coast
On a breaking, cracking line

You said your ship was waiting
But I've known you far too long
You know the words by heart
But you never sing the song
You never sing the song

I have pinned you to a mattress
I sang you 'Wild Is The Wind'
Your nail, they dragged a bloody trail
Your teeth, they broke the skin

You were tattoed in a mining town
By a boy too drunk to care
You said you wanted broken hearts
And dragons everywhere

My wife, she's never met you
But she sees you in my eyes
We're beaten, if we're honest
Maybe we're beaten less by lies

For once, will you please try
And pay attention to your life?
For once, will you please try
And pay attention to your life?
