From Bring on the Night1986

Written by Sting

Produced by Kim Turner, Sting

Lyrics

Low Life

[Verse] Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town Walk down the street and your head spins round Don't be seen alone without your friends at night Take a gun or a knife to the low life Don't have to be born into this society Pay for love but the hate comes free Bring enough money for the rest of your life Don't bring your wife to the low life Bringing us there to the degradation Always keep your back to the wall No rewards for your infatuation Low life No life at all [Chorus] Yeah, low life, low life [Bridge] In here to long to be afraid anymore You can't reach the bed so you sleep on the floor You get so stoned you think you could fly But you won't get high on the low life [Chorus][x5]
