Life In Detail

Robert Palmer


Who could tell just what might happen ?
Sometimes you're gonna feel a shock.
You got your carbonet - you think you're laughin'
It may hit you like a ton of rock.

You see your life in detail
such a close-up view
from another angle
like another you

It's that feelin' again
do you remember when ?
you were so confused
you knew ever y thing

You thought that happiness was automatic
That you were livin' in MEAN time

It's that feelin' again
do you remember when ?
you had it all sown-up
And then you call a friend

A, like a life in detail
such a close-up view
like a mirrored image
of another you
