Euthanasia Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look for you underneath the damp earth
I look for you in the night sky
I look for you underneath the thorn bush
I look for you in the hum cities
And in looking for you I lost myself in time

[Verse 2]
I lost myself under the damp earth
Lost myself in the night sky
Lost myself under the thorn bush
I lost myself in the hum cities
And in losing myself I found myself
Found myself in time

[Verse 3]
You stepped out of the restaurant
And attached yourself to my heart
It was a type of dying
It was a type of dying in time

[Verse 4]
And I fled from the hum cities
I fled under the thorn bush
I fled into the night sky
Fled beneath the damp earth
Where I passed through a doorway
And found you sitting at the kitchen table
Listening to the radio and smile
That smile that smile that smiles, that smiles
That smile that smiles
That smile that smiles
That smile that smiles
That smile that smiles in time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
