Can’t Let Go
Bryan Ferry
Well I rush out blazing
My pulse is racing
As the rain streams down my face
There’s no turning back now
To fight with fate
Outnumbered and out of place
They said go west young man, that’s best
It’s there you’ll feel no pain
And Bel-Air’s okay if you dig the grave
But I want to live again
Can’t let go
There’s a madness in my soul tonight
Can’t let go
Must I ride it like the storm?
Can’t let go
Will I run out of control tonight?
Can’t let go
Until every trace is gone
It’s a winding road from Cuesta Way
Down Sunset to the beach
Though Canoga Park is a straight safe drive
It’s too far out of reach
But now the headlights are flashing by so fast
All directions seem the same
And the windscreen wipers keep a beat repeating
You can’t let go again
What’s in a name on the street tonight
I’m only a face in the crowd
All in the dark and afraid tonight
Nowhere to run or to hide
But I can’t let go
Sometimes the world outside Will take you in with just a smile
And you so blinded with desire
A hundred sleepless nights
Have left me wasted and so cold
But I can take it I’m hanging on
Can’t let go
There’s a madness in my soul tonight
Can’t let go
Must I ride it like the storm
Can’t let go
Will I run out of control tonight?
Can’t let go
Until every trace is gone
