where do we go from here? the words are coming out all wierd where are you
now when i need you? alone on an aeroplane falling asleep beside [against] the window
pane my blood will THICKEN.
I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain ['cause] i'd be scared that there's
nothing underneath and who are my real friends? have they all got the bends?
am i really sinking this low?
+my baby's got the bends [oh no] we don't have any real friends [no no no]
i'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on talking to my girlfriend waiting for
something to happen and i wish it was the sixties i wish i [we] could be happy i wish
i wish i wish that something would happen..
where do we go from here? [the words are coming out all wierd where are you
now when i need you?] [the planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear, and where are you?] they brought in the CIA the tanks and the whole marines
to blow me away to blow me sky high.
+my baby's got the bends we don't have any real friends
i'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on talking to my girlfriend waiting for
something to happen and i wish it was the sixties i wish i could be happy i wish
i wish i wish that something would happen..
i want to live and breath[e] i want to be a part of the human race.
