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' |
