Fad Gadget - Innocent Bystander lyrics

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

I stood & watched
Frozen to the spot
I stood & watched her bruised chest & heave stop

Not more than a hundred miles from here
I could be sleeping, no more pillow fears
But now I find that I cannot hide
I cannot hide, I cannot hide anymore

We didn´t like to interfere
We are all respectable people here
Turn out the lights & continue watching
Seven stories up & conscience clear

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

I stood & watched
Eyes glued to the spot
I stood & watched the blood begin to clot

They stand & stare & anything that moves
Half naked silhouettes, net curtain viewers
But now I find that I cannot hide
I cannot hide, I cannot hide anymore

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

I stood & watched
Transfixed, cool & hot
I stood & watched burnt bodies left to rot

Not more than twenty-four hours from here
I could buy a one-way ticked & disappear
But still I find that I cannot hide
I cannot hide, I cannot hide anymore
