The Stranglers - Permission lyrics

Some days when the air is thick And the people try to breathe the air I try to thread the needles eye And reach across the street to where The presence on the corner stands Watches from the corners of their eyes They need permission And your submission Will make them fade away like summer rain They need permission Their intuition Could turn a protest into pain They wait in patience for the spark That's brewing in some angry cries It's happened many times before They have to stop them when they try They need permission And your submission Will make them fade away like summer rain They need permission Their intuition Could turn a protest into pain Permission Permission They always have the time of day To feel the heat from where they stand Sometimes the mystery is enough To dore the blows from angry hand But when the trouble hits the fan They never shed tears for the banned They need permission And your submission Will make them fade away like summer rain They need permission Their intuition Could turn a protest into pain Permission Permission Permission Permission... They need permission And your submission Will make them fade away like summer rain They need permission Their intuition Could turn a protest into pain Permission Permission Permission Permission...
