lyrics

Day begins to unwind
and on the drink soaked streets
you might find
in the pubs and clubs
somebody you might love to know
but they're all cars on the ring road
going round in their own little worlds

And there's never any change
in cliques of the self conciously deranged
you're so dull you're so dull
and I know I've got to run
and get away to my

Strange kind of ecstasy
living in a fantasy
just for me myself and I
far away where you won't here my crying out

When I'm lost and found
in the tumbling rainstorm
half drowned and travel worn
I lay down under the grim suburban sky
saw the burning blaze
shot through my haze
and I'm basking in the light

Of a strange kind of ecstasy...

Set me free I want to fly
let me dance round on air tonight
in some dizzy dream of excess
fold me in your soft caress my love

Play with your dress on the bus
on the way home i left my mind behind
in a strange kind of ecstasy
