Ultravox - I Never Wanted To Begin

Shadows cut our cloth that's stolen,
Promises were broke,
We wound our watch to stretch the time,
In case that no-one got the joke.

I never wanted to begin,
Name that sin
Name that sin.

Dim and distant kisses chill,
Before I catch my death,
Etch every name upon the door,
And note the ones who never rest.

We never knew who we were then,
Name that sin,
Name that sin.

Shattered captives climbing gates,
To hold new lamps in vain,
For my King's rowing over lakes,
Connecting rooms in black sedan.

They never wanted to get in,
Name that sin,
Name that sin.

Evidence is stripped and torn,
And hidden in the mines,
The negatives have all been fogged and blurred,
And just a thousand times,

We never wanted to fall in,
Name that sin,
Name that sin.

Name that sin,
Name that sin,
Name that sin,
Name that sin,
Name that sin.
