you feel the knife stuck in your back
you feel it twist and you hear it crack
can't make a sound for the sudden pain
you wish your blood were novocaine
you see the smoke and you feel the flak
you're burning up and you're turning black
they say you fell and you hit your head
your upper bung(?) is wet and red [bad word]  paranoic fears
sonic boomers ringing in your ears
all of this is getting normal now
you'll never go back to your farming plough [bad word] you're right at home back at william's flat
you heard a sound you turned and shot your cat
your hands are shaking, everybody sees
and there's a rhythm [bad word] in your knees
you return into your foreign night
inside you know something is just not right
sometimes you duck when you see your pet
canary turn into a sabre jet
shock consumer - you're just an average guy
swelling tumor pushing on your eye
and now you know why all the [bad word] and why you're getting progressively numb [bad word] i've been denied, debriefed, detuned
sometimes i howl right at the moon
my family treats me fragilely
they know my volatility [bad word]  paranoic fears
sonic boomers ringing in my ears
and now i know why all the [bad word] and why you're getting progressively numb [bad word] vicious rumours [bad word] vicious rumours [bad word] vicious rumours [bad word] vicious rumours [bad word] [fade into..]
