The Bends

Where do we go from here?

The words are coming out all weird

Where are you now when I need you?

Alone on an aeroplane

Falling asleep 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 could be happy

I wish, I wish

I wish that something would happen

Where do we go from here?

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

I wish it was the sixties

I wish I could be happy

I wish, I wish

I wish that something would happen

I wanna live and breathe

I wanna be part of the human race

I wanna live and breathe

I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race

Where do we go from here

The words are coming out all weird

Where are you now when I need you?
