Divided Soul (Cassette demo) Songtext
von Soft Cell

Got my preacher in the kitchen
Got my dealer in the hall
I′m blind to the truth
Though I say I've seen it all
I′m always asking why
I want to laugh but I have to cry
Gonna live for the day
Looking for tomorrow
Gonna go off the rails if I don't find a god to follow

I know
I don't know which way to go
I′m living on the edge all the time going out of my mind
Oh yeah, I′m a divided soul


Got my lawyer in the bathroom
I've got a hooker in my bed
I′m taking medication
For the voices in my head
Got a holster on my shoulder
A bible in my hand
I'm the serpent in Eden
Praying for redemption
On evil I′ll be feeding
To make my resurrection

I know
I don't know which way to go
I′m living on the edge all the time going out of my mind
Oh yeah, I'm a divided soul

I'm turning up the music
I′m drowning out the screams
I′m a man of passion
A child of apathy
Though I keep on running
Life's catching up with me


I know
I don′t know which way to go
I'm living on the edge all the time going out of my mind
Oh yeah, baby
I know
I don′t know which way to go
I'm living on the edge all the time going out of my mind
Oh yeah yeah
I know
I′ve not got long to go
I'm living on the edge all the time going out of my mind
Oh yeah, I'm a divided soul

I′m a risk taking
Danger loving
Chance risking
Trouble tasting
Liar a thief
An apostle of grief
I′m a killer or a lover
One or the other

Who the hell am I?

I'm a divided soul
I′m a divided soul
I'm a divided soul
I′m a divided soul
We're all divided souls
Yeah, we′re all divided souls
We're all divided souls
I'm a divided soul
Divided soul
