Innocent Bystander

Fad Gadget

[Verse 1]
Wiped away the condensation
Looked down at the empty street
A girl in white - fright screaming loudly
A screwed-up nut in close pursuit

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I stood and watched
Frozen to the spot
I stood and watched her bruised chest heave and stop

[Chorus 1]
Not more than a hundred miles from here
I could be sleeping, no more pillow tears
But now I find that I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide anymore

[Post-Chorus]
We didn't like to interfere
We're all respectable people here
Turn out the lights and continue watching
Seven stories up and the conscience clear

[Verse 2]
Lying in the curb, legs bent the wrong way
Shattered glass and uniparts in the road
The ghouls on the pavement were making a feast of it
Their kids licking ice-creams and asking rude questions

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I stood and watched
Eyes glued to the spot
I stood and watched the blood begin to clot

[Chorus 2]
They stand and stare and anything that moves
Half naked silhouettes, net curtain viewers
But now I find that I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide anymore

[Post-Chorus]
We didn't like to interfere
We're all respectable people here
Turn out the lights and continue watching
Seven stories up and the conscience clear

[Verse 3]
The convoy moves closer to the scene of the disaster
Families from miles around gather here
Siren lights and Polaroids flashing in the darkness
A black box for the pilot and passengers

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I stood and watched
Transfixed, cool and hot
I stood and watched burnt bodies left to rot

[Chorus 3]
Not more than twenty-four hours from here
I could buy a one-way ticket and disappear
But still I find that I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide anymore
