Fad Gadget - "Innocent Bystander" lyrics
*** Complimentary Innocent Bystander Ringtone ***
Wiped away the condensation
A girl in white - fright screaming loudly
Looked down at the empty street
A screwed-up nut in pursuit
Frozen to the spot
I stood and watched
I stood and watched her bruised chest and heave stop
Not more than a hundred miles from here
I could be sleeping, no more pillow fears
But now I find that I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide anymore
We didn't like to interfere
We're all respectable people here
Turn out the lights and continue watching
Seven stories up and conscience clear
Shattered glass and uniparts in the road
Lying in the curb, legs bent the wrong way
The ghouls on the pavement were making a feast of it
A girl in white - fright screaming loudly
Looked down at the empty street
A screwed-up nut in pursuit
Frozen to the spot
I stood and watched
I stood and watched her bruised chest and heave stop
Not more than a hundred miles from here
I could be sleeping, no more pillow fears
But now I find that I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide anymore
We didn't like to interfere
We're all respectable people here
Turn out the lights and continue watching
Seven stories up and conscience clear
Shattered glass and uniparts in the road
Lying in the curb, legs bent the wrong way
The ghouls on the pavement were making a feast of it
Eyes glued to the spot
Their kids licking ice-creams and asking rude questions
I stood and watched
I stood and watched the blood begin to clot
They stand and stare and anything that moves
Half naked silhouettes, net curtain viewers
But now I find that I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide anymore
The convoy moves closer to the scene of the disaster
Families from miles around gather here
Siren lights and Polaroids flashing in the darkness
A black box for the pilot and passengers
I stood and watched
Transfixed, cool and hot
Not more than twenty-four hours from here
I stood and watched burnt bodies left to rot
I could buy a one-way ticked and disappear
I can't hide, I can't hide anymoreBut still I find that I can't hide
Their kids licking ice-creams and asking rude questions
I stood and watched
I stood and watched the blood begin to clot
They stand and stare and anything that moves
Half naked silhouettes, net curtain viewers
But now I find that I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide anymore
The convoy moves closer to the scene of the disaster
Families from miles around gather here
Siren lights and Polaroids flashing in the darkness
A black box for the pilot and passengers
I stood and watched
Transfixed, cool and hot
Not more than twenty-four hours from here
I stood and watched burnt bodies left to rot
I could buy a one-way ticked and disappear
I can't hide, I can't hide anymoreBut still I find that I can't hide
