The Pillow Lyrics - Ub40

A smile for every passing car 

And when they stop with door ajar 

She shrugs and whispers que sera 

And turns her thoughts to the pillow 

Her face is etched with memories 

She finds now joy amid the sleaze 

It's hard when you've been paid to please 

So she turns her thoughts to the pillow 

[Chorus] 

Daylight comes she rests her head 

The beauty of an empty bed 

She dreams of happy days instead 

Of brooding on to-morrow 

She swapped her dreams of shining knights 

For pushers, bars and money fights 

For nameless faces in red light 

So she turns her head to the pillow 

Those black eyes don't hurt any more 

She's heard the jokes and jibes before 

She's felt the long arm of the law 

So she turns her head to the pillow 

[Chorus] 

Taking drugs was not for fun 

It made her feel like going on 

But now she hurts when its all gone 

And she turns her head to the pillow 

She take a blade and breaks her skin 

Sweet life force flows from within 

The white clouds in her head grow dim 

And she turns her head to the pillow 

[Chorus] 

Sunlight creeps across her head 

Pale beauty in a crimson bed 

No dreams of happy days ahead 

She'll have no more tomorrows
