Lyrics[]
Walking under skies Waiting for the fall Meet me at the cornershop I'll show you it all Free you of your mind Something you wont find In the west-end pages with your google dirty fingers It's a skin dive In deep silence we are Going underwater It's a lifeline Teardrop, bullets, all night Dip into the water [Rap:] Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air That's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air Wipe us of the face Of the human race Whichever way you look it's indisposed or disgraced Fighting on the shore The hoi polloi want more Howling bloody murder but it's nothing just a murmur In your skin dive In deep silence we are Going underwater It's a lifeline Teardrop, bullets, all night Slip into the water [Rap:] Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air That's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air A blushing rose is torn From these sugar walls I've misplaced my future could I please borrow yours? Panic on the scene You know what I mean Anything you want to be the only thing you want from me Is skin dive In deep silence we are Going underwater It's a lifeline Teardrop, bullets, all night Go inside the water [Rap:] Babygirl you're swimming A little too deep So deep....that I think you might hit a reef I think you low on oxygen And you're too glad to leave Babygirl swim to the top Grab my hand and hold me and breathe Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air That's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air
