How did we get here?

Verse
So what if I take lunch half an hour early
And so what if I’ve been on holiday to Guernsey
Get off my fucking back
Break the obsession
Or become part of the admission
When you’re waiting at the wrong platform
At the right time
What have you done that for?
Chorus
How did we get here I would love to know
When we get near I need to go
Did we drive safely oh but maybe?
Only God knows and he’ll tell Jesus
Please don’t let this come between us
Verse
He’s been arrested for killing two birds with one stone
But he’s adamant he wasn’t alone
And now he just wants to go home
You’ve made too many calculated risks
And you want it all on floppy disk
But this is not 1995
Bad news always out weights good news
That’s if you have a small minded view
Chorus
How did we get here I would love to know
When we get near I need to go
Did we drive safely oh but maybe?
Only God knows and he’ll tell Jesus
Please don’t let this come between us
Verse
Has anyone got the time?
Because I wear my watch for fashion
Telling the time is not my passion
And there’s no battery
Behind every great man there’s a great woman
So what’s behind a shitty man?
I’m no super hero so why don’t you ask Batman?
Chorus
How did we get here I would love to know
When we get near I need to go
Did we drive safely oh but maybe?
Only God knows and he’ll tell Jesus
Please don’t let this come between us
Verse
You’ve given me an itch that I just can’t scratch
You’ve asked for a fire and then given me a match
Right where I can’t reach
So what if you just won a toaster
Still no reason to marry her
Can’t sleep with an unclear mind
Can’t speak without a tongue you will find
Everyone eventually falls in line
Chorus
How did we get here I would love to know
When we get near I need to go
Did we drive safely oh but maybe?
Only God knows and he’ll tell Jesus
Please don’t let this come between us
Verse
Got stuck at the crossing on the way to catch the train
How ironic
I was off to the pub to get on it
Why do teddy bears run round the garden?
I beg your fucking pardon
There’s a power out
And all the life support machines are down
And none of the backup power supplies can be found
Everyone’s gonna die
Chorus
How did we get here I would love to know
When we get near I need to go
Did we drive safely oh but maybe?
Only God knows and he’ll tell Jesus
Please don’t let this come between us
Verse
You wore the hat
But I didn’t wear the wings
Spend half an hour
Hearing out a cooling tower
And come away with all the power
The writings on the wall
That your about to fall
Because you’ve become so tall
Chorus
How did we get here I would love to know
When we get near I need to go
Did we drive safely oh but maybe?
Only God knows and he’ll tell Jesus
Please don’t let this come between us
Verse
I’m on top of the world
I’m in the Arctic Circle
Everything’s gone purple
From my finger tips
To my dried out lips
I’m holding up the world
I’m in Antarctica
Oh you think you’re really smarty do ya?
Chorus
How did we get here I would love to know
When we get near I need to go
Did we drive safely oh but maybe?
Only God knows and he’ll tell Jesus
Please don’t let this come between us
