Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day
Daddy don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL
There's a funeral in the town, some guy from the top estate
Seems they found him under a train, and yet he had it all on a plate
SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL
Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day
SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL

The sky is red, and the sea is blue
God made the distance between me and you
Always walking the tightrope, always walking the line
Placing your head in the lion's jaws
HERE COMES THE FLOOD, IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN
HERE COMES THE FLOOD, IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN
FLOOD, FLOOD, HERE COMES THE FLOOD
Watching your river turn into an ocean
Sailing your ship off the edge of the world
Watching the sail as it carries you on
The wind twists like lovers in each other's arms
HERE COMES THE FLOOD, IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN
HERE COMES THE FLOOD, IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN
FLOOD (IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN)
FLOOD (IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN)
FLOOD, HERE COMES THE FLOOD
This is my future and this is my past
And they meet in the middle of nowhere
Won't you lend me a hand, stuck out in nowhereland
Waiting for someone to hear me
HERE COMES THE FLOOD, IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN
HERE COMES THE FLOOD, IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN
FLOOD (IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN)
FLOOD (IT'S JUST WASHING YOU DOWN)
FLOOD, HERE COMES THE FLOOD
Oh, here comes the flood, here comes the flood
Here comes the flood (7x)

I would search this world for you, even though you can't imagine
I wanna take you to China, I wanna kiss you in Rome
I'd use rocket ships, mine sweepers, transistor radio receivers
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you too tight
Gonna break every bone of everybody in sight
WHEN I'M FLYING SO HIGH (FLYING SO HIGH)
LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKY
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
I hear your talking and whispers, pale drawn out nails and fingers
I'm seeing shapes behind the curtain
You're looking older but you can't be certain
You're so tired (you're so tired) but you just can't sleep
You're so shallow (you're so shallow) but you're in too deep
Your hands shaking, body's lifting, body's mine
I know, I know, 'cause I told you so
WHEN I'M FLYING SO HIGH (FLYING SO HIGH)
LIKE A PLANE IN THE SKY
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
Oh, you're dragging me down, oh you're dragging me down
Drag, drag, dragging me down, oh you're dragging me down
Oh, you're dragging me, dragging me, dragging me, oh
(You're dragging me down)
(Oh) I never can quite remember, (oh) was it June, July or September ?
(Oh) That you sold your soul to me, to me
(Oh) That you sold your soul to me, to me
WHEN I'M FLYING SO HIGH (FLYING SO HIGH)
LIKE A STORM IN THE SKY
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
WHEN I'M FLYING SO HIGH (FLYING SO HIGH)
LIKE A STAR IN THE SKY
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN
BUT

Lady take a ride on a Zeke 64, Jerry wants to be a rockette
That's a popular misconception, says we haven't seen anything yet
Laying down the lifeless corpse of President 35
The lady crying by his side is the most beautiful woman alive
SATURN 5, YOU REALLY WERE THE GREATEST SIGHT
STRETCHING OUT ON A SUMMER'S DAY
HOUSTON, IT'S CALLING ME BACK TO HER

AN EAGLE LANDS, AND A PLANET FULL OF PEOPLE RAISES ITS HANDS
ALL HAIL THE MEN WHO WILL WALK UP IN HEAVEN TODAY
Monochrome TV, all the things you ever represented to me
Take me once more, take me to heaven again
