  • I'm the last straw, broke the camel's back, yeah
    I'm the grey rock when my mind goes black, yeah
    Needle in the eye of a satellite

    I'm holding my breath, just holding my breath
    I'm up to my neck and the water's rising
    Stone on my chest and my thoughts are violent
    Memories fade, I've got to get away
    I've got to get away but I might not make it

    Ooh, was it something I said?
    I got my feelings right
    Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
    You got my cards in your hands
    Well, can you play 'em right?
    Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
    Ships passing in the night

    You're the missed call on the telephone
    The trace of perfume in the dressing room
    When everything here makes me think of you

    I'm holding my breath, just holding my breath
    You're up to your neck and the water's rising
    Stone on your chest and your thoughts are violent
    Memories fade, I've got to get away
    I've got to get away but I might not make it

    Ooh, was it something I said?
    I got my feelings right
    Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
    You got my cards in your hands
    But can you play 'em right?
    Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
