Wandering Attention

Thief I recognise, steals my walk Drags me down so low, to the mercy of the night London's filling up with water, drowning block to block Caught my wandering attention, my wandering attention You can leave your home, but you will never leave the hatred You take it with you, like a shadow always waiting Darkest hour, stuck at three in the morning All that violence I left behind in my home in my town It's always here to tear me down Always here to tear me down Don't ask me where I've gone Won't answer that, deeper than the deepest ocean, goes all the way back And I swear you would not recognise the child, except you would With his wandering attention, my wandering attention You can leave your home, but you will never leave the hatred You take it with you, like a shadow always waiting Darkest hour, stuck at three in the morning All that violence I left behind in my home in my town It's always here to tear me down Always here to tear me down
