- The Alley Lyrics / with translationsIt's all the same for all of us
A sinking ship to place to trust
It seems so huge to leave to chance.
Who among you can resist?
Her fingers wrapped around your wrist
From the beast she pulls a lover
From this world you will need no other
When it's all too much for you to take
Take a step back for heaven sake
It seems so foolish in this light
Who among you can resist?
Un furrowed brow and finger tips
From the beast she pulls a lover
From this world you will need no other
A sinking ship to place to trust
It seems so huge to leave to chance.
Who among you can resist?
Her fingers wrapped around your wrist
From the beast she pulls a lover
From this world you will need no other
When it's all too much for you to take
It seems so foolish in this light
Who among you can resist?
Un furrowed brow and finger tips
From the beast she pulls a lover
From this world you will need no other
