Freeze Frame

I found myself a child again

Asleep in baby lotion

The air was thick

With Scalextric

And the cars were in slow motion

Going up

Like an air bubble caught in a vein

Going down

Like a thermos flask thrown from a train

Going up

You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down

I cried myself to sleep because

They wouldn't leave the light on

And I clawed the rails

With broken nails

Now there's nothing left to bite on

Going up

Like an air bubble caught in a vein

Going down

Like a thermos flask thrown from a train

Going up

You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down

Going up

Like the corners of Dali's moustache

Going down

Like United in the Munich air crash

Going up

You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down

Splendour in the grass

Freeze frame

A splintering of glass

Steam train

Stop you're going too fast

Please freeze frame

Freeze frame, freeze frame

Please freeze

I asked my mum about the stains in the kitchen

She said, "Bang you're dead" and truth is stranger than fiction

Truth is stranger than fiction

I find myself designing rooms

That never let the light in

With no way in

And no way out

And a space to fly my kite in

Going up

Like an air bubble caught in a vein

Going down

Like a thermos flask thrown from a train

Going up

You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down

Going up

Like a body rejecting a heart

Going down

Like Neanderthal Man in the chart

Going up

You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down
