Erasure - Surreal

(Clarke / Bell)
On your own, when it all goes wrong
Like you're in gaol
Torn in two, threw the blame at you
Nightmare prevails

There is no guarantee
One crazy heart like me
Should I go curl up and die?

Surreal
Precious time is slipping away
Reveal
Don't go wishing your life away
The wheel
Of fortune keeps spinning on anyway
A steal
Precious time is running away

One line folds, and the next strikes gold
Finds me in gaol
Tried to run, gotta buy me some
Free time and bail

There is no guarantee
Fool for a hangman's tree
Should I go curl up and die?

Of fortune keeps on spinning anyway

There is no guarantee
One crazy heart like me
Should I go curl up and die?
