| 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' |
