Going under — Marillion
(from the album Clutching at straws, 1987)
Is it wrong to
talk to myself even when there's
nobody else?
I'm just checking out
that I've not gone
under the
water or
thrown on
the beach like a
seal ready for
slaugther
Can't you understand that the
way things were planned
it never worked out
so I just went
crazy
I took to the drink like
something says it's
'maybe'
I ain't
got no excuse and that's
really the news
I got
nothing else to say
except it's
my way,
it's always
my way
I seem to be running
away so
often
I'll try
anything once and that's the
way we should be
but it's always the same getting
caught up again in a
habit
a
habit, that I
just can't shake off,
the way it
always turned
out (small interlude)
Can you
understand it's the
way I choose to be
everything seems so
easy this way, but I'm
going under,
fast
I'm slipping away,
am I
so crazy?
Some more guitar picking, repeat several times
