Moving Through Life as Prey - Zita Swoon

Somebody screamed

Somebody forced a lie

Somebody broke my faith today

And though it always seems the first time

It happens all the time baby

I find I’m dangling on a thin line

We are moving through life as prey

Somebody cried

Someone broke down inside

And I been listening to their stories

Down on the floor

I look up at the faces

Ragged by the races

Moving in time

Following the traces

Pretending a smile

Walking million miles with the forces of a wounded mule

And though it always seems the first time

It happens all the time baby

I find I’m dangling on a thin line

We are moving through life as prey

Somebody arrives in a foreign place and starts to cry

But not a soul who thinks of giving up his precious place

And so they die

And though it always seems the first time

It happens all the time baby

I find I’m dangling on a thin line

We are moving through life as prey
