Robert Palmer Lyrics

"Life In Detail" lyrics


Who can tell just what might happen?
Sometimes you're gonna feel a shock
You got it covered, yeah, you think you're laughin'
Then it hits you like a ton of rock

You see your life in detail
such a close-up view
from another angle
like another you

It's that feelin' again
do you remember when
you were so convinced
you knew everything

You thought that happiness was automatic
You were livin' in the meantime

It's that feelin' again
do you remember when
you had it all sown-up
And then a collar ripped

like a life in detail
such a close-up view
like a mirror image
of another you

[Instrumental interlude]

You were optimistic, energetic
Now you wonder why you feel so numb
like you're under anaesthetic
makes you wonder where you're comin' from

It's like the feelin' again
do you remember when
you were so convinced
you knew everything

like a life in detail
such a close-up view
from another angle
like another you
