Richard Allan II before it gets me down

Select language to translate this lyric

The hand upon your shoulder
Grows colder everyday
But you never turn to face
All you hopeless lovers
Greater than the last
But you never quite the first
Well I used to find it funny
But I've forgotten how to laugh
I've been lurking in the dark
Plotting my escape.
Before it gets me down
I will leave this town
Some decide to run
But I will stay with you, my son
I've been chasing tails
Since I was a boy
It never seems to change
All you A-class soldiers
Longing for the heights
You'll never reach again
Well I used to find it funny
But I've forgotten how to laugh
I've been lurking in the dark
Plotting my escape.
Before it gets me down
I will leave this town
Some decide to run
But I will stay with you, my son
Before it gets me down
I will leave this town
Some decide to run
But I will stay with you, my son
