Echo & The Bunnymen - Scratch The Past Lyrics

Echo & The Bunnymen Lyrics

"Scratch The Past"

If you want somebody you can understand
You know that I could be your man
But if it's anybody who can hold your hand
When any old nobody can
Rising from the ashes with my head in flames
It's good to feel the fire again
Striking all the matches in our special game
Burning through old skin to play

Just don't try to catch me 'cos I'm moving too fast
Only trynna scratch the past
C'mon...

Looking for the pieces to my jigsaw man
Trynna keep the demons in
Looking for a planet I can understand
Just trynna get my world to spin

Just don't try to catch me 'cos I'm moving too fast
Only trynna scratch the past
C'mon...
