Maxïmo Park
Unfamiliar Places
I see a row of
Sleeping dogs
I see a poster
Of myself
Memorize the
Path I took
Waiting for sunrise to
Take me home

I think of you in unfamiliar places
Making you mind up for yourself

Don't be scared of the life you're making
Don't be scared on your own
Don't be scared of the life you're making
Making decisions on your own

Your serious face
In a farce of no-one's making
Trying not to laugh out loud
I can't imagine you on the plane
Interacting with other people
Taking advantage of the bar

Don't be scared of the life you're making
Don't be scared on your own
Don't be scared of the life you're making
Making decisions on your own

Moral pins and needles;
I think of thieves escaping
Dark curls and dead eyes
In a doorway; a dead spot
I think of you in unfamiliar places
Making your mind up for myself

Let other care when I'm careless;
I've got a taste for something special
Let others care when I am careless;
A useless scramble for protection

I think of you
In unfamiliar places
