The Last Straw (Live At Wembley Arena 5/11/87)

Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors

A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories

Dryin' out a conscience, evictin' a nightmare

Openin' the doors for the dreams to come homeWe live out lives in private shells

Ignore our senses and fool ourselves

To thinkin' that out there there's someone else cares

Someone to answer all our prayers, all our prayersAre we too far gone, are we so irresponsible?

Have we lost our balls or do we just not care?

We're terminal cases that keep takin' medicine?

Pretendin' the end isn't quite that nearWe make futile gestures, act to the cameras

With our made up faces and PR smiles

And when the angel comes down, down to deliver us

We'll find out after all, we're only men of strawBut everything is still the same

Passin' the time and passin' the blame

We carry on in the same old way

We'll find out we left it too late one day

To say, what we meant to sayJust when you thought it was safe to go back to the water

Those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of

The feeling you get is similar to somethin' like drownin', hey

Out of your mind, you're out of your depth

You should have taken soundingsClutchin' at straws

We're clutchin' at straws

We're clutchin' at strawsAnd if you ever come across us, don't give us your sympathy

You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands

And you'll recognize by the reflection in our eyes

That deep down inside, we're all one and the sameWe're clutchin' at straws

We're still drownin'

Clutchin' at straws

We're still drownin', yeahClutchin' at straws, we're clutchin' at straws

Still drownin', clutchin' at straws

I'm still drownin'

We're clutchin' at strawsI'm still drownin'

We're clutchin' at straws

Still drownin'

We're clutchin' at strawsStill drownin'

We're clutchin' at straws

Still drownin'

We're clutchin' at strawsI'm still drownin', drownin'

Clutchin' at straws

Still drownin'

Clutchin' at strawsStill drownin'

Clutchin' at straws

Still drownin'

Clutchin' at straws

Still drownin'

Still, still, still drownin'
