The Wasp & the Jar (Live At Shepherd's Bush Empire 2009)

What makes me think

That every day I need a drink

Another drop goes down

I get that feeling I’m gonna drown

Taking off like a plane

Heading down the runway

Sends shivers down my spine

Always feel the same way

I got a head like an atomic bomb

Just waiting for the explosion

I feel like a wasp in a jar

Buzzing round, not getting very far

Staring into oblivion with a bottle in my grasp

Never in a hurry, sinking fast

Taking off like a plane

Heading down the runway

Sends shivers down my spine

Always feel the same way

I got a head like an atomic bomb

Just waiting for the explosion

What is it that ticks my brain

That pulls on the reins

What is it that ticks my brain

That pulls on the reins

This merry-go-round won’t stop

No-one can help me get off

I’m slipping away feel the slide

I’ve no grip on my life

Taking off like a plane

Heading down the runway

Sends shivers down my spine

Always feel the same way

I got a head like an atomic bomb

Just waiting for the explosion

What is it that ticks my brain

That pulls on the reins

What is it that ticks my brain

That pulls on the reins
