I'm scared of the police
I'm scared of the violence
I'm scared of handcuffs
And truncheons
I'm just too scared

So pack your bags
We're going home
This place has started to stink
I've been standing around
For far too long
And my feet have started to sink in

And I'm scared of becoming
A statue, a monolith
And not changing, ever
It's not healthy, and I'm just

Scared of it

And I'm scared of your anger
And I don't know what causes it
And you know that it hurts me
But I like you

She kisses me like music
I dont pretend I don't like it
Her lips are soft and Swedish
She leaves me gasping for more

Summer bleeds into my skin and,
Paints me the colour golden

And I'm done, I'm left alone exausted
Pick myself up off the road.

And I won't come down to earth
It's along way down to...

And I dont come to earth.
It's a long way down, It's a long way down

if all i am is flesh and blood, i might as well be dog food
and if all it was was just a test, i think i passed.
ill wear the clothes, ill eat the food, ill whisper the words but its not true
cos im alive and i dont know why. im just so glad I found you

fire away. ill make sure you remember
fire away. ill make you all remember me

my adrenaline flows, im loath to waste it
im creeping so close i can almost taste it
i block your way, and you cannot leave me
you have got to stay. stay

im waterproof and see-through, they said survive and, i will.
and if you move i shoot you, so stay completely still.
your mind is dead with these old ideals.
your mouth is shut.

and i dont want space, because space is so cold,
fire away. ill make sure you remember
fire away. ill make you all remember.
