The Bends

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

I need to wash myself again

To hide all the dirt and pain

Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath

But who are my real friends?

Have they all got the bends?

Am I really sinking this low?

[Chorus]

My baby's got the bends, oh no

We don't have any real friends

No, no, no

[Refrain]

Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on

Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen

I wish it was the '60s, I wish I could be happy

I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

My baby's got the bends

We don't have any real friends

[Refrain]

Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on

Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen

I wish it was the '60s, I wish I could be happy

I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen

[Bridge]

I wanna live, breathe

I wanna be a part of the human race

I wanna live, breathe

I wanna be a part of the human race

Race, race, race

[Outro]

Where do we go from here?

The words are coming out all weird

Where are you now when I need you?
