[00:00.15]1 2 3 4
[00:12.07]Hotel hobbies padding dawn's hollow corridors
[00:16.41]A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories
[00:21.04]Drying out a conscience evicting a nightmare
[00:25.22]Opening the doors for the dreams to come home
[00:30.67]We live our lives in private shells
[00:34.22]Ignore our senses and fool ourselves
[00:38.76]To thinking that out there that someone
[00:41.57]Else cares
[00:43.80]Someone to answer all our prayers all
[00:48.49]Our prayers
[00:51.93]Are we too far gone are we so irresponsible
[00:56.52]Have we lost our balls do we just not care
[01:01.13]We're terminal cases that keep talking medicine
[01:05.83]Pretending the end isn't quite that near
[01:10.09]We make futile gestures act to the cameras
[01:14.59]With our made up faces and our pr smiles
[01:19.14]And when the angel comes down down
[01:22.26]To deliver us
[01:23.97]We'll find out after all we're
[01:26.22]Only men of straw
[01:29.66]But everything is still the same
[01:33.31]Passing the time and passing the blame
[01:38.89]We carry on in the same old way
[01:42.27]We'll find out we left it too late one day
[01:47.38]To say what we meant to say
[01:54.52]What did you mean to say
[01:59.21]For did you mean to say
[02:07.50]Tell me what you mean to say
[02:14.45]Aw aw aw aw
[02:18.42]Shout
[02:30.43]Just when you thought it was safe
[02:32.81]To go back to the water
[02:40.13]Those problems seem to arise the
[02:42.87]Ones you never really thought of
[02:49.74]The feeling you get is similar to
[02:52.99]Something like drowning
[02:58.35]Oh yeah
[02:59.03]Out of your mind you're out of your
[03:01.75]Depth you should have taken soundings
[03:06.16]Soundings
[03:07.27]Clutching at straws
[03:11.97]We're clutching
[03:12.93]At straws
[03:17.02]Clutching at straws
[04:07.35]And if you ever come across us don't
[04:10.45]Give us your sympathy
[04:12.33]Can buy us a drink and just shake
[04:15.52]Our hands
[04:16.79]And you'll recognise by the reflection
[04:19.96]In our eyes that deep down inside we're
[04:23.67]All one and the same
[04:25.92]We're clutching at straws
[04:28.81]Still drowning
[04:30.72]Clutching at straws
[04:33.20]We're still drowning yeah clutching at straws
[04:46.19]Clutching at straws
