Fish - Last Straw Lyrics
Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridorsA typewriter cackles out a stream of memoriesDrying out a conscience, evicting a nightmareOpening the doors for the dreams to come homeWe live out lives in private shellsIgnore out senses and fool ourselvesInto thinking that out there there's someone else caresSomeone to answer all our prayersAre we too far gone, are we so irresponsibleHave we lost our balls, or do we just not careWe're terminal cases that keep talking medicinePretending the end isn't quite that nearWe make futile gestures, act to the camerasWith our made up faces and PR smilesAnd when the angel comes down to deliver usWe'll find out after all, we're only men of strawBut everything is still the samePassing the time passing out the blameWe carry on in the same old wayWe'll find out we left it too late one dayTo say what we meant to sayJust when you thought it was safe to go back to the waterThose problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought ofThe feeling you get is similar to some sort of drowningWhen you are out of your mind, out of your depthYou should have taken soundingsWe're clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws clutching at strawsAnd if you ever come across us don't give us your sympathyYou can buy us a drink and just shake our handsAnd you'll recognise by the reflections in our eyesThat deep down inside we're all one and the sameWe're clutching at straws still drowning
