Airborne Panic Attack

Eyes are blurry

Speech is getting slurry

Bridge is breaking

Heart is always aching

Surprise your birthday

Wake up in an ashtray

Rise and shine and coffee

God, you need a hobby

Join the gym, go running

Start African drumming

Baking bread or swimming

Pictures of you singing

At your last friend's wedding

These wings are ripe for spreading

Warming up forever

Have you seen the weather?

Warming up forever

Have you seen the weather?

Warming up forever

Have you seen the weather coming?

But what about us now?

What are these thorns caught in our back?

It's death from above now

We're falling for an airborne panic attack

What about us?

Hands are ticking

Flames have started flicking

Eyes are drying

Last embers are dying

Have a drink, it's Friday

Make it to your doorway

Have a think, some reason

It's the jolly season

Wash your clothes and shower

That should kill an hour

What's that show they told me

To look at on the TV?

What's that song you're always humming?

What am I becoming?

Coming up for air

Have you seen the fire?

Coming up for air

Have you seen the fire?

Coming up for air

Have you seen the fire coming?

But what about us now?

What are these thorns caught in our back?

It's death from above now

We're falling for an airborne panic attack

But, what about us, man?

What are these wires, that catch our skin?

We're doing all we can

We're spitting out more than we're pulling in

What about us?

Build a boat that's made of

These stones and sticks

Picking away at

Between the bricks

If I'm a lab rat

I'll take this chance

To give my best dance

To give my best dance
