1
(Fish, Steve Rothery, Mark Kelly, Pete Trewavas, Ian Mosley)
2
Hotel hobbies padding dawn's hollow corridors
3
A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories
4
Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare
5
Opening the doors for the dreams to come home
6
We live our lives in private shells
7
Ignore our senses and fool ourselves
8
To thinking that out there that someone else cares
9
Someone to answer all our prayers, all our prayers...
10
Are we too far gone, are we so irresponsible
11
Have we lost our balls, or do we just not care
12
We're terminal cases that keep talking medicine
13
Pretending the end isn't quite that near
14
We make futile gestures, act to the cameras
15
With our made-up faces and our PR smiles
16
And when the angel comes down, down to deliver us
17
We'll find out that after all, we're only men of straw
18
But everything is still the same
19
Passing the time and passing the blame
20
We carry on in the same old way
21
We'll find out we left it too late one day
22
to say what we meant to say
23
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water
24
Those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of
25
The feeling you get is similar to something like drowning
26
Out of your mind, you're out of your depth, you should have taken soundings
27
Clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws
28
And if you ever come across us don't give us your sympathy
29
You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands
30
And you'll recognise by the reflection in our eyes that deep down inside we're all one and the same
31
We're clutching at straws
32
We're still drowning
33
Clutching at straws
34
We're still drowning, yeah Clutching at straws
35
I'm still drowning
36
We're clutching at straws
37
I'm still drowning
