The Last Straw (Live At Wembley Arena 5/11/87)
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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'
