Where do we go from here?

The words are coming out all weird.

Falling asleep against the window pane.
My blood will thicken...

[Verse]
I need to wash myself again,
To hide all the dirt and pain,
Cause I'd be scared...
That there's nothing underneath.

Who are my real friends?
G
Have they all got the bends?
C
Am I really sinking
Th - is low?

[Verse]
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat, In a sea of fear...
And where are you?
They brought in the CIA,
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away, To blow me sky high...
