Level 42 - The Bends Lyrics
Youve got to see me in the cold light of dayYou gotta see me as I am but thats the only wayBut its often the way when you try to make amendsCome up too fast and youre sure to get the bendsIt never endsIve been diving, deeper than you thinkWater, water everywhere but not a drop to drinkThe long wave return makes it harder to be friendsCome up too fast and youre sure to get the bendsOh nobody knows, nobody knowsWhy were chained to our first impressionOh nobody knows, nobody knowsHow were changed by decompressionLook at the crazy people heading for the bay(youre telling me Im crazy)Its a drop in the ocean but were growing by the dayThe long wave returns and its hard to comprehend(you realy do amaze me)Come up too fast and youll be sure to get the bendsOh nobody knows, nobody knowsWhy were chained to our first impressionOh nobody knows, nobody knowsHow were changed by decompressionLook at the crazy peopleAll heading for the baySome keeping it togetherSome falling by the wayWay down below the surfaceIts easy to pretendGotta get up off the seabedIts time to make amendsPeople like a riverFlowing to the seaMaking a stand to deliverA new philosophyNo need to be defensiveWhen theres nothing to defendBetter make it last, come up too fastAnd youre sure to get the bendsIt never ends
