Street Addict Songtext

von Toyah

Repression …
Walking down the streets of depression
Seclusion ...
See a smiling face -- it's an illusion
Sudbued … on wine and quaaludes
Oh, valium (valium)
Oh, valium (valium)

Where is the sun? (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Where is that big red sun?
Enormous sun
I'm so sleepy, I'm dragging myself along

What's the hurry?
What's everybody running from?
What's the hurry?
What's everybody running from?

Buildings sway, they come tumbling down
People concave -- contorting all around
Tidal waves, I just can't . stay away
The earth quakes
Or is it only in my handshakes?

Black bombers … huh!
Now something's going down, so I'll move on
Another bench, another town
But what's the hurry, yeah
Men with pointed heads are surrounding me
And I said

What's the hurry?
What's everybody running from?
What's the hurry?
What's everybody running from?

Buildings sway, they come tumbling down
People concave -- contorting all around
Tidal waves, I just can't stay away
The earth quakes -- or is it only in my handshakes?

Repression ...
Walking down the same old streets of depression
Seclusion …
See a smiling face -- it's an illusion
Valium … valium … valium … valium … valium
