You feel the knife stuck in your back You feel it twist and you hear it crack Can't make a sound for the sudden pain You wish your blood were Novocaine
You see the smoke and you feel the flak You're burning up and you're turning black They say you fell and you hit your head Your other bun is Whitenbread
Vicious rumours, paranoic fears Sonic boomers ringing in your ears All of this is getting normal now You'll never go back to your farming plough Vicious rumours
You're right at home back at William's flat You heard a sound you turned and shot your cat Your hands are shaking, everybody sees And there's a rhythm drumming in your knees
You return into a foreign night Inside you know something is just not right Sometimes you duck when you see your pet Canary turned into a Sabre jet
Shocked consumer - you're just an average guy Swelling tumor pushing on your eye And now you know why all the headaches come And why you're getting progressively numb Vicious rumours
I've been denied, debriefed, detuned Sometimes I howl right at the moon My family treats me gradually They know my volatility
Vicious rumours, paranoic fears Sonic boomers ringing in your ears And now I know why all the headaches come And why you're getting progressively numb Vicious rumours
