Restless Lyrics - Toyah

(willcox/sidelnyc) 

Well you know I've been dloating here for hours 

Just like this 

Suspended gently swaying like a pendulum 

Look, no strings attached 

There's the odd insect 

It don't worry traffic control 

But I just don't seem to wake up 

I've been all the way to Budapest 

Seen riots, yes riots in Tibet 

Seen the burning monks 

Crackling in pain 

Saw bombs in Gibraltar 

Fear in Christ's eyes 

Frozen in concrete 

As all of Europe fries 

Wake up a mother's son 

Lynched in a graveyard 

Bullets in MacDonald's 

Mottos born to kill 

Tattoed on children's skin 

And when I saw the hole in the sky 

At the north pole 

I really wanted to wake up 

I heard the last breath of the dolphin 

Behind the doors on the fourth floor 

Of a Manchester morgue 

Little fingers on the durex machine 

God bless them, 

Yes God bless them 

And God bless Milton Keynes 

Now I've been floating here 

For thirty years 

>From the mid west to the North Sea 

Seen nothing but soot covered misery 

Witnessed crossbreeding giving birth to 

Bad dreams now I want to wake up 

Now I'm floating here on the outer atmosphere 

And I've brushed aside the waste paper 

There's a sign, 

It says 

"Self destruct in 99" 

Evacuate.
