High and Dry Lyrics

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you boy.
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You’d kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror; you’re turning into something you are not.
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They’re the ones who’ll hate you when you think you’ve got the world all sussed out
They’re the ones who’ll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
It’s the best thing that you’ve ever had, the best thing that you’ve ever, ever
had.
It’s the best thing that you’ve ever had; the best thing you’ve had has gone away.
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry
Don’t leave me high, don’t leave me dry

Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?
A lull on an aeroplane
Fall asleep against the window pane
My blood will thicken.
I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
’cause I’d be scared that there’s nothing underneath
And who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?
My baby’s got the bends – Oh no
We don’t have any real friends – No no no
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you?
They brought in the C.I.A.
The tanks, and the whole marines to blow me away
To blow me sky high.
My baby’s got the bends
We don’t have any real friends
Just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties
I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen.
I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race.
I want to live and breathe
I want to be part of the human race.
Where do we go from here?
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you?

You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it’s always here
You can crush it but it’s always near
Chasing you home saying
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules
But still…
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken
Why can’t you forget?
Why can’t you forget?
Why can’t you forget?
