Gary Numan - God Only Knows lyrics

I was listening to my breathing

Like a man listening to life

I was looking for fire

It could take me or leave me

It could all just burn away

The oxygen law

It remains me

I'd been surrounded for hours

By the sound of thinking metal

And I knew something was wrong

I can tell you what fear is

It is the smell of burning

And I'd been close once before

I waited a long time

How I survived God only knows

It seemed like forever

How I survived God only knows

I don't like the memory

How I survived God only knows

How I survived God only knows

I remember the feeling

I'll remember forever

How it all just came apart

I don't believe in praying

I don't believe in a God

Now I question everything

The dreamer is gone

I'm an old man

I could tell you of horror

I could show you the pieces

But I just want to forget

I'm not sure if I saw it

I'm not sure if I heard it

I just screamed 'I can't get out'

'I can't get out'
