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
  fall asleep on 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
  but 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
  
  just lying in the 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
  
  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
  
  just lying in the 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, breathe
  i wanna be part of the human race
  i wanna live, 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?
