"Freeze Frame" lyrics

I found myself a child again
Asleep in baby lotion
The air was thick
With Scalextric
And the cars were in slow motion

Going up
Like an air bubble caught in a vein
Going down
Like a thermos flask thrown from a train
Going up
You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down

I cried myself to sleep because
They wouldn't leave the light on
And I clawed the rails
With broken nails
Now there's nothing left to bite on

Going up
Like an air bubble caught in a vein
Going down
Like a thermos flask thrown from a train
Going up
You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down
Going up
Like the corners of Dali's moustache
Going down
Like United in the Munich air crash
Going up
You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down

Splendour in the grass
Freeze frame
A splintering of glass
Steam train
Stop you're going too fast
Please freeze frame
Freeze frame, freeze frame
Please freeze
I asked my mum about the stains in the kitchen
She said, "Bang you're dead" and truth is stranger than fiction
Truth is stranger than fiction

I find myself designing rooms
That never let the light in
With no way in
And no way out
And a space to fly my kite in

Going up
Like an air bubble caught in a vein
Going down
Like a thermos flask thrown from a train
Going up
You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down
Going up
Like a body rejecting a heart
Going down
Like Neanderthal Man in the chart
Going up
You go ahead and I'll follow my phobia down
