The Bends

I guess now I'm avoiding your part of Harlem
Wish I had the cash to make my vices problems
'Cause your parents might come running when you call 'em
Ain't nowhere for me to go but deeper when I'm drownin'

I can pop a cork, twist a tag
Clutch my glass and reach way back
But I don't always move as fast as you do, so

Sometimes I find you in the bottom of a bottle
Where you've gone is someplace I won't follow
I said, sometimes I find you in the bottom of a bottle
Where you've gone is someplace I won't swallow
Where you've gone

Oh, where, where you've gone

See all these dark spaces you hauled in
All you, that could crawl in
I fit in my own skin, sifted through my own sins
I knew this could happen when you hit a tailspin
Balance, we hanging between floor and ceiling
Now morning, evening, wound and the ceiling
Stayed wide awake, why I'm the one dreaming? (Searching)
Searching for these memories for something to believe in
But on a swing at dusk, it was the last time I breathed in

And damn (Damn, if I ain't still lookin' for you)
(If I ain't still looking for you)
Damn, if I ain't (Damn, if I ain't still looking for you)
If I ain't (If I ain't still looking for you)
Goddamn (Damn, if I ain't still looking for you)
(If I ain't still looking for you)
Goddamn (Damn, if I ain't still looking for you)
(If I ain't still looking for you)

But sometimes I find you in the bottom of a bottle
Where you've gone is someplace I won't follow
I said, sometimes I find you in the bottom of a bottle
Where you've gone is someplace I won't follow
Where you've gone

Oh, my love, where?
Where've you gone?
My love, oh

And I said, damn (Damn, if I ain't still lookin' for you)
(If I ain't still looking for you)
(Damn, if I ain't still looking for you)
(If I ain't still looking for you)
Goddamn (Goddamn, if I ain't still looking for you)
(If I ain't still looking for you)
Damn, if I ain't still looking for you (Damn, if I ain't still looking for you)
If I ain't still looking (If I ain't still looking)

And where've you gone? (If I ain't still looking)
Where've you gone? (If I ain't still looking)
Oh, my love
Where, where've you gone? (If I ain't still looking)
Where've you gone? (If I ain't still looking)
Oh, my love
Where've you gone?
Where've you gone?
Wait a minute, can't you?
Wait a minute, can't you?
Where've you gone?
Where've you gone?
Wait a minute, can't you?
I won't follow
