Eyes are blurry
Speech is getting slurry
Bridge is breaking
Heart is always aching
Surprise your birthday
Wake up in an ashtray
Rise and shine and coffee
God, you need a hobby
Join the gym, go running
Start African drumming
Baking bread or swimming
Pictures of you singing
At your last friend's wedding
These wings are ripe for spreading
Warming up forever
Have you seen the weather?
Warming up forever
Have you seen the weather?
Warming up forever
Have you seen the weather coming?
But what about us now?
What are these thorns caught in our back?
It's death from above now
We're falling for an airborne panic attack
What about us?
♪
Hands are ticking
Flames have started flicking
Eyes are drying
Last embers are dying
Have a drink, it's Friday
Make it to your doorway
Have a think, some reason
It's the jolly season
Wash your clothes and shower
That should kill an hour
What's that show they told me
To look at on the TV?
What's that song you're always humming?
What am I becoming?
Coming up for air
Have you seen the fire?
Coming up for air
Have you seen the fire?
Coming up for air
Have you seen the fire coming?
But what about us now?
What are these thorns caught in our back?
It's death from above now
We're falling for an airborne panic attack
But, what about us, man?
What are these wires, that catch our skin?
We're doing all we can
We're spitting out more than we're pulling in
What about us?
Build a boat that's made of
These stones and sticks
Picking away at
Between the bricks
If I'm a lab rat
I'll take this chance
To give my best dance
To give my best dance
