The Last Straw / Happy Ending |
Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors |
A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories |
Dryin' out a conscience, evictin' a nightmare |
Openin' the doors for the dreams to come home |
We live out lives in private shells |
Ignore our senses and fool ourselves |
To thinkin' that out there there’s someone else cares |
Someone to answer all our prayers, all our prayers |
Are we too far gone, are we so irresponsible? |
Have we lost our balls or do we just not care? |
We’re terminal cases that keep takin' medicine? |
Pretendin' the end isn’t quite that near |
We make futile gestures, act to the cameras |
With our made up faces and PR smiles |
And when the angel comes down, down to deliver us |
We’ll find out after all, we’re only men of straw |
But everything is still the same |
Passin' the time and passin' the blame |
We carry on in the same old way |
We’ll find out we left it too late one day |
To say, what we meant to say |
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water |
Those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of |
The feeling you get is similar to somethin' like drownin', hey |
Out of your mind, you’re out of your depth |
You should have taken soundings |
Clutchin' at straws |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
And if you ever come across us, don’t give us your sympathy |
You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands |
And you’ll recognize by the reflection in our eyes |
That deep down inside, we’re all one and the same |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
We’re still drownin' |
Clutchin' at straws |
We’re still drownin', yeah |
Clutchin' at straws, we’re clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin', clutchin' at straws |
I’m still drownin' |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
I’m still drownin' |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin' |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin' |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin' |
We’re clutchin' at straws |
I’m still drownin', drownin' |
Clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin' |
Clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin' |
Clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin' |
Clutchin' at straws |
Still drownin' |
Still, still, still drownin' |
