You've got to see me in the cold light of day   You gotta see me as I am but that's the only way   But it's often the way when you try to make amends   Come up too fast and you're sure to get the bends   It never ends      I've been diving, deeper than you think   Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink   The long wave return makes it harder to be friends   Come up too fast and you're sure to get the bends      Oh nobody knows, nobody knows   Why we're chained to our first impression   Oh nobody knows, nobody knows   How we're changed by decompression      Look at the crazy people heading for the bay   (You're telling me I'm crazy)   It's a drop in the ocean but we're growing by the day   The long wave returns and it's hard to comprehend   (You realy do amaze me)   Come up too fast and you'll be sure to get the bends      Oh nobody knows, nobody knows   Why we're chained to our first impression   Oh nobody knows, nobody knows   How we're changed by decompression      Look at the crazy people   All heading for the bay   Some keeping it together   Some falling by the way   Way down below the surface   It's easy to pretend   Gotta get up off the seabed   It's time to make amends   People like a river   Flowing to the sea   Making a stand to deliver    a new philosophy   No need to be defensive   When there's nothing to defend   Better make it last, come up too fast    and you're sure to get the bends      It never ends
