Uncomfortably Numb Lyrics

This transparency is killing me
Well, I'm no model citizen
And the heart's so hard to please
Been on a sidetrack so long it looks like the main road to me
Bobbing and weaving
Burning through the trees
Can't fight this feeling
That there's nothing here for me

Well it's one bad day
And I'm back in her arms
My emerald city
Uncomfortably numb
Baby, all I'm gonna do is bring you down
Under the water
How long can you hold your bated breath
Before you drown?

I'm used to not breathing
I'm used to the dark
I'm used to not feeling
I swim with the sharks
I'm used to the underbelly
I'm used to the cold
I need no habitation
I'll run with the wolves
I need no motivation
I'll run with the wolves
Well it's one bad day
And I'm back in her arms
My emerald city
Uncomfortably numb
It's one bad day
And I'm back in her arms
My emerald city
Uncomfortably numb
Baby, all I'm gonna do is bring you down
Under the water
How long can you hold your bated breath
Before you drown?

Well it's one bad day
And I'm back in her arms
My emerald city
Uncomfortably numb
It's one bad day
And I'm back in her arms
My emerald city
Uncomfortably numb

Baby, all I'm gonna do is bring you down
Under the water
How long can you hold your bated breath
Before you drown?
