Lyrics

Your mum thinks that you're sad and that you're living alone
And your friends think if you're sad you should call them more
But the truth is that you never needed someone to comfort you
Oh you've never needed someone to comfort you

But you're no god
You're no god

And you will never leave this place
And you will always feel alone
And you will never feel quite clean in this new skin that you have grown
Until you're old and broken bones are laid into their resting place
Just like the rest of human race
'Til I fall into my place
Just like the rest of human race
'Til I'm laid into my final resting place
Just like the rest of human race who've done it
Without complaining all the way

But you're no god
You're no god
As long as you promise that you will never leave
I need only worry about you and me

And we will never leave this pleace
And we need never feel alone
And we will learn to feel quite clean in this new skin that we have grown
Because our young and healthy bones would never lead us astray

We will learn to feel quite clean in this new skin that we have
We will learn to feel quite clean in this new skin that we have
We will learn to feel quite clean in this new skin that we have grown
Because our young and healthy bones would never lead us astray
