[Intro]

It's a story about

A street named decision

Lays open the skin

With its painful incision

[Chorus]

Erasure

It's time to rest

Erase your

Complicated mess

[Verse 1]

A sharp dressed narcotic

That drips dark red

Keeps you smiling

When you say it's ok

But it's breaking me

With breathtaking ease

[Chorus]

Erasure

Rub me out

Erase your

Panic anxiety

[Verse 2]

Truth be told

I never liked that girl

But she kept coming around between us

And she's breaking me

With breathtaking means

[Interlude]

I can hear you

Pioneer you

Whisper near you

Fire and virtue

I can hear you

Pioneer you

Whisper near you

Fire and virtue

[Bridge]

Got to keep a light burning all day (all day, all day)

Got to keep a light burning all day (all day, all day)

[Verse 3]

Whatever

Happened to

Old-fashioned

Face value

Straight talking

Went out with

June brides and fashion queens

[Refrain]

It's a story about a street named decision

Lays open the skin with its painful incision

[Outro]

(It's a story about a street named decision)

Your words are guns

And they are loaded, loaded

Loaded, loaded

Loaded

(Lays open the skin with its painful incision)

Your words are guns

And they are loaded, loaded

Loaded, loaded

Loaded
