Lyrics Karel Fialka - Still Life

HE SAT WITH HEAD IN HAND
AS IF THE UNIVERSE WAS PLANNED
HE WAITED FOR THE PHONE TO RING
HE DIDN’T HEAR A SINGLE THING

SHE SAT BEHIND HER NAME
HER RED HAIR SPREADING LIKE A FLAME
SHE WAS MADE UP LIKE A CHINESE DOLL
AND THEN SHE WASN’T THERE AT ALL........STILL

A TELEGRAM FROM ITALY
A POSTCARD FROM BRAZIL
MIDNIGHT LEANS AGAINST THE DOOR
THE WORLD IS LYING STILL

SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN SUNSHINE
SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN SHADE
SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS TRYING
SOME PEOPLE GOT IT MADE........STILL

SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN HEAVEN
SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN HELL
SOME PEOPLE BURNING UP INSIDE
SOME PEOPLE OWN THE WELL........STILL

LIGHTNING SNAKES ALONG THE STREET
IT TOUCHES THE GARAGE
THE BEDROOM BURNS WITH SUDDEN HEAT
ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE
YOU CAN HEAR THE SISTERS LAUGHING
YOU CAN WATCH THE ROCKETS FLY
YOU CAN RUN OUT IN THE STORM TODAY
OR STAND THERE IN THE EYE........STILL

SOME PEOPLE EATING HONEY
SOME PEOPLE EATING DIRT
SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS HAPPY
SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS HURT........STILL

SOME PEOPLE LIKE A HURRICANE
SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE DUST
SOME PEOPLE COME WITH LOVING EYES
SOME PEOPLE COME WITH LUST........STILL

A TELEGRAM FROM ITALY
A POSTCARD FROM BRAZIL
MIDNIGHT LEANS AGAINST THE DOOR
THE WORLD IS LYING STILL

A HALO GREW AROUND THE STREETLIGHT
SILENT WITNESS TO THE FIGHT
THE CURTAINS WERE ALL DRAWN
WAS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON........STILL

THE RIVER AND THE IRON BRIDGE
THE CAT SLIPS BY THE CANS
THE CLOCK STRIKES 2, 3, 4
TIME SLIDES BY LIKE SAND

LIGHTNING SNAKES ALONG THE STREET
IT TOUCHES THE GARAGE
THE BEDROOM BURNS WITH SUDDEN HEAT
ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE
YOU CAN HEAR THE SISTERS LAUGHING
YOU CAN WATCH THE ROCKETS FLY
YOU CAN RUN OUT IN THE STORM TODAY
OR STAND THERE IN THE EYE........STILL
