The Bends Lyrics - Level 42

You've got to see me in the cold light of day 

You gotta see me as I am but that's the only way 

But it's often the way when you try to make amends 

Come up too fast and you're sure to get the bends 

It never ends 

I've 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 you're sure to get the bends

Oh nobody knows, nobody knows 

Why we're chained to our first impression 

Oh nobody knows, nobody knows 

How we're changed by decompression 

Look at the crazy people heading for the bay 

(You're telling me I'm crazy) 

It's a drop in the ocean but we're growing by the day 

The long wave returns and it's hard to comprehend 

(You realy do amaze me) 

Come up too fast and you'll be sure to get the bends 

Oh nobody knows, nobody knows 

Why we're chained to our first impression 

Oh nobody knows, nobody knows 

How we're 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 

It's easy to pretend 

Gotta get up off the seabed 

It's 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 there's nothing to defend 

Better make it last, come up too fast 

and you're sure to get the bends 

It never ends
