The Bends
Where do we go from hereThe words are coming out all weirdWhere are you now when I need youAlone on an airplaneFalling asleep against the window paneMy blood will thicken
I need to wash myself againTo hide all the dirt and pain'Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneathAnd who are my real friendsHave they all got the bendsAm I really sinking this low
My baby's got the bends, oh noWe don't have any real friends, no, no, no
I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed onTalking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happenI wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happyI wish that something would happen
Where do we go from hereThe planet is a gunboat in a sea of fearAnd where are youThey brought in the CIA the tanks and the whole marinesTo blow me away, to blow me sky high
My baby's got the bendsWe don't have any real friends
I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed onTalking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happenI wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happyI wish that something would happen
I want to live, breatheI want to be part of the human race
Where do we go from hereThe words are coming out all weirdWhere are you now when I need you
