Simple Minds - Destiny lyrics

[Verse 1] Look at the world outside Beware its evil tide Too many endless days Cold streets and alleyways The poor come crawling out They speak but never shout I think you'd rather be alone You're hiding in a shell So easy I can tell Can you sell me some thoughts Though d** just can't be bought Tell me is it some crime To wait a long time I think you'd rather be alone [Chorus] Can you hear me Can you see I don't want this destiny To be destined Destiny [Verse 2] Something's been happening here Don't touch Don't come so near Don't ask me to reply Can't think of no more lies The hand thats reaches out Can crush without a doubt I think you'd rather be alone Oh much is left unexplained It's getting to my brain Yet still you wear that smile Then walk your crooked mile Some day you're bound to learn Too late There's no return I think you'd rather be alone [Chorus]
