Going Under

Marillion · Clutching At Straws [1987]

Is it wrong to talk to myself even when there's nobody else?

I'm just checkin' out that I'm not gone under the water

Thrown on the beach like a seal ready for slaughter



Can't you understand that the way things were planned

It never worked out so I would 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

Got nothing else to say, that it's my way, it's always my way

I seem to be runnin' away so often



I'll try anything once and that's the way we should be

But it's always the same gettin' caught up again in a habit, a habit

But I just can't shake off the way it always turned out



Can you understand it's the way I choose to be?

Everything seems so easy this way but I'm goin' under fast

Slippin' away, am I so crazy?
