Ready For Drowning, lyric by Manic Street Preachers

from the songs album This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours

Here's a true story
Said someone to me yesterday
Said he'd heard it in a taxi
Must have had him at my mercy
Drown that poor thing put it out of its misery
Condemn it to its future deny its history - deny its history

So where are we going we're not ready for drowning
So where are we going we're not ready for drowning

Look through my venetian blinds
Dusting the past off my mind
Seeing orange everywhere
I'd go to patagonia but it's harder there
I'll do anything to prove i care
Fascinated by good
Destroyed by evil what is there to believe in

So where are we going we're not ready for drowning
So where are we going we're not ready for drowning
So where are we going we're not ready for drowning
So where are we going we're not waving we are drowning
