Safe As Houses Lyrics - What Price Paradise - China Crisis

Safe as houses 

Built on quicksand 

Because I place my trust 

In small town dreams 

It's common on crooks 

I know the strain of day to day 

Busy, busy everybody 

I've seen the strangest times 

It's far from noticed 

Busy, busy everybody 

I know the strain of day to day

I shook of my world 

But stood back in amazement 

I saw the greatest of worlds 

To be the cheapest attraction 

Safe as houses 

Built on quicksand 

Because I don't compete 

For nobody's place 

Making any difference 

I know the strain of day to day 

Busy, busy everybody 

If you could join me now 

I would not want for anything or anyone 

I shook of my world 

But stood back in amazement 

I saw the greatest of worlds 

To be the cheapest attraction

Safe as houses 

Built on quicksand 

Because I waste my time 

In backstreet dealings 

Killing often, every time 

I know the strain of day to day 

Busy, busy everybody 

I've seen the cruelest times 

It's far from noticed 

Busy, busy everybody
