Dark Spaces Songtext

von Richard Clapton

What are you up to, Sylvia?
You've been sneaking downtown
With your mother's drugs

The dreams in the doll's house
Have taken their toll
What you need is a man with a little control

The lines you keep quoting
Just get more obscure
You've even got me feeling insecure

Don't you step in dark spaces
Don't you go drifting into strange places
Don't you step in dark spaces, dark spaces

Let's talk it over, Sylvia
Why did you steal all those hospital rugs?
Doctor Freud has designs of real cruelty
But those rugs cannot be your security

I hear ambulance sirens just a few blocks away
And I don't know what it is, you expect me to say

Don't you step in dark spaces
Don't you go drifting into strange places
Don't you step in dark spaces, dark spaces
