'Cos I'd be scared
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wanna be part of the human race
Where do we go from here?
Have they all got the bends?
My baby's got the bends, oh no
To hide all the dirt and pain
Falling asleep against the window pane
We don't have any real friends, no, no, no
The planet is a gunboat
I wish it was the sixties
That something would happen
The tanks and the whole Marines
We don't have any real friends
Just lying in the bar
Race, race, race
Where do we go from here?
I wish we could be happy
Waiting for something to happen
I wanna live, breathe
My baby's got the bends
To blow me sky high
With my drip feed on
The words are coming out all weird
And where are you?
Am I really sinking this low?
That there's nothing underneath
But who are my real friends?
I wish, I wish, I wish
Talking to my girlfriend
I wanna be part of the human race
Waiting for something to happen
Talking to my girlfriend
They brought in the CIA
Where are you now, when I need you?
In a sea of fear
My blood will thicken
Alone on an aeroplane
I need to wash myself again
That something would happen
To blow me away
I wish I could be happy
I wanna live, breathe
I wish it was the sixties
With my drip feed on
Just lying in the bar
