[Verse 1: John Linnell]
Wearing a raincoat is flying around
In a plane made of a raincoat
But when you think of that, you hurt your mind
And you'll need a friend
To talk you down

[Verse 2: John Linnell]
Needing a friend to talk you down
Is food that comes from a pipe
But when you hate the food
That comes from a pipe
You will turn to drugs
To help you sleep

[Bridge 1: John Linnell]
Turning to drugs to help you sleep
Will only lead to sleep
And sleeping is a gateway drug
To being awake, being awake (Ah)
Being awake again (Ah)

[Verse 3: John Linnell]
Being awake is swimming around
In a lake of the undead
And the undead are like a bunch of friends (Of the undead)
That demand constant attention
[Bridge 2: John Linnell]
Demanding constant attention
Will only lead to attention
And once they have your attention
They use it to ask for attention
And once they have that attention
They use it to ask for attention...

[Verse 4: John Linnell]
Wearing a raincoat is flying around
In a yellow rubber airplane made out of a raincoat, yes
But when you think of that, you hurt your mind
And you'll need your mind for later on

[Verse 5: John Linnell]
Needing a mind for later on
Is a friend that comes at a price
But when you hate the friend that comes at a price
You will play the drums to help you sleep
