Ready For Drowning

Manic Street Preachers · This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours [1998]

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 are not waving we are drowning
