Stranglers - Sweet Smell Of Success lyrics

rate me

You get a taste it ain't enough

To eat your fill you need the stuff

You think you're there about to land

But is the trip just what you planned

You're falling, yes you're falling

For the sweet smell of success

You're gambling like everyone

Who cares who wins you're having fun

And you'll be back another day

You think you'll win next time you play

You're falling, yes you're falling

For the sweet smell of success

You check your hand you're looking good

You see a path within the wood

She beckons you what can you do

But follow her to somewhere new

You're falling, yes you're falling

You're falling, yes you're falling

For the sweet smell of success
