Deceive Yourself Lyrics - Singles - Del Amitri

The world and the surrounding stars 

Might change completely in the space of an hour 

But not an eclipse of the sky nor a colliding car 

Will turn me back now that I've come this far 

Not a shotgun blast nor a shooting star 

Will bring her down from her stubborn tower 

It's a kind of madness, it's a kind of sin 

To live in the state of mind I've been living in 

Her face imprinted on my sight 

Her voice resounding in my skull at night 

If there is a living goddess on Earth 

It must be her from the heaven high life 

It takes this girl to realize what you're worth 

And I'm worth nothing if she's worth more than my life 

But there's more to me than simple devotion 

I won't just crawl at her feet and utter a plea 

And if she refused I wouldn't walk into the ocean 

Just because my world was left all out at sea 

So it was in this cafe when we eventually met 

And I wished I had sunglasses and smoked cigarettes 

The world and the surrounding stars 

They change completely in the space of an hour 

When over the table and two cups of tea 

She told me she felt the same way about me 

And not an eclipse of the sky nor a colliding car 

Could have shaken our attention from each other's face 

As we both stepped down from our stubborn towers 

We jump into the ignorant heaven that is the lover's place
