The Bends — текст песни (Level 42)

Youve got to see me in the cold light of day

You gotta see me as I am but thats the only way

But its often the way when you try to make amends

Come up too fast and youre sure to get the bends

It never ends



Ive been diving, deeper than you think

Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink

The long wave return makes it harder to be friends

Come up too fast and youre sure to get the bends



Oh nobody knows, nobody knows

Why were chained to our first impression

Oh nobody knows, nobody knows

How were changed by decompression



Look at the crazy people heading for the bay

(youre telling me Im crazy)

Its a drop in the ocean but were growing by the day

The long wave returns and its hard to comprehend

(you realy do amaze me)

Come up too fast and youll be sure to get the bends



Oh nobody knows, nobody knows

Why were chained to our first impression

Oh nobody knows, nobody knows

How were changed by decompression



Look at the crazy people

All heading for the bay

Some keeping it together

Some falling by the way

Way down below the surface

Its easy to pretend

Gotta get up off the seabed

Its time to make amends

People like a river

Flowing to the sea

Making a stand to deliver

A new philosophy

No need to be defensive

When theres nothing to defend

Better make it last, come up too fast

And youre sure to get the bends



It never ends
