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 airplane

Falling asleep against the windowpane

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 slow

My baby's got the bends

Oh, no

We don't have any real friends

No, no, no

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 C.I.A

The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away

To blow me sky-high

Baby's got the bends

We don't have any real friends

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 want to live, breathe

I want to be part of the human race

I want to live, breathe

I want to be part of the human race

Where do we go from here?

The words are coming out all weird, where are you now?

When I need you
