The Sinking Feeling Lyrics - Singles - The The

All my books lay on the table 

Waitin' to unfold 

I sit and stare at my reflection 

While the darkness chills my bones 

My head fills like a junk shop 

In desperate need of repair 

The path of least resistance 

Leads to the garbage heap of despair 

I think I'd better get back in bed 

I'm just a symptom of the moral decay 

That's gnawing at the heart of the country 

I'm just a symptom of the moral decay 

That's gnawing at the heart of the country 

You can't destroy your problems 

By destroying yourself 

Death is not the answer 

For your soul may burn in hell 

My memory, my fond deceiver 

Is turning all my past into pain 

While I'm being raped by progress 

Tomorrow's world is here to stay 

They wouldn't have it any other way 

I'm just a symptom of the moral decay 

That's gnawing at the heart of the country 

I'm just a symptom of the moral decay 

That's gnawing at the heart of the country 

I'm just a symptom of the moral decay 

That's gnawing at the heart of the country 

...
