Dark Spaces

Richard Clapton

Compositor: Richard Clapton

What are you up to Sylvia?
You've been sneaking downtown with your mother's drugs,
The dreams in the doll's house
Have taken their toll,
What you need is a man with a little control,
The lines you keep quoting
Just get more obscure,
You've even got me feeling insecure;

CHORUS:

Don't you step in dark spaces,
Don't you go drifting into strange places,
Don't you step in dark spaces -
DARK SPACES

Let's talk it over,Sylvia,
Why did you steal all those hospital rugs?
Doctor Freud has designs of real cruelty,
But those rugs cannot be your security;
I hear ambulance sirens just a few blocks away,
And I don't know what it is you expect me to say -

Don't you step in dark spaces,
Don't you go drifting into strange places,
Don't you step in dark spaces -
DARK SPACES
