Lyrics Gary Numan – God Only Knows

I was waiting for something
I was listening to my breathing
Like a man listening to life

I was looking for fire

The oxygen law
It reminds me

I’d been surrounded for hours
By the sound of thinking metal
And I knew something was wrong

I can tell you what fear is
It is the smell of burning
And I’d been close once before

I waited a long time
How I survived God only knows
It seemed like forever
How I survived God only knows
I don’t like the memory
How I survived God only knows
How I survived God only knows

I remember the feeling
I’ll remember forever
How it all just came apart

I don’t believe in praying
I don’t believe in a God
Now I question everything

The dreamer is gone
I’m an old man

I could tell you of horror

I’m not sure if I saw it
I’m not sure if I heard it
I just screamed ‘I can’t get out’
‘I can’t get out’
