Fad Gadget - Innocent Bystander Lyrics
Wiped away the condensationLooked down at the empty streetA girl in white - fright screaming loudlyA screwed-up nut in pursuitI stood and watchedFrozen to the spotI stood and watched her bruised chest and heave stopNot more than a hundred miles from hereI could be sleeping, no more pillow fearsBut now I find that I can't hideI can't hide, I can't hide anymoreWe didn't like to interfereWe're all respectable people hereTurn out the lights and continue watchingSeven stories up and conscience clearLying in the curb, legs bent the wrong wayShattered glass and uniparts in the roadThe ghouls on the pavement were making a feast of itTheir kids licking ice-creams and asking rude questionsI stood and watchedEyes glued to the spotI stood and watched the blood begin to clotThey stand and stare and anything that movesHalf ***** silhouettes, net curtain viewersBut now I find that I can't hideI can't hide, I can't hide anymoreThe convoy moves closer to the scene of the disasterFamilies from miles around gather hereSiren lights and Polaroids flashing in the darknessA black box for the pilot and passengersI stood and watchedTransfixed, cool and hotI stood and watched burnt bodies left to rotNot more than twenty-four hours from hereI could buy a one-way ticked and disappearBut still I find that I can't hideI can't hide, I can't hide anymore
