Lifeline Lyrics

Spandau Ballet

Changing her colours shes off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
Theres a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and live in love
One day hell build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned
Now youre living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing
So live and let live in love
Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision hes aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
So live and let live in love
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what youre giving
Till youre living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what youre giving
Till youre living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing to you
But Im not living
