Like a gun in a bible It's a secret I keep We were prophets on hillsides Back in London last week Now, I drive to the main shop It disappears like a dream And I broke my good hand Out here pouring concrete All I do is lose Feels like whiplash on the tarmac When I come back It's like whiplash Like a dog in a bathtub I'm hiding out from the storm The label's gone quiet All my calls get ignored I head down to the dive bar And when I walk in, Sam leaves The faithful apostles Lean in close when I speak I wish it was you Feels like whiplash on the tarmac When I come back It's like whiplash
