Where do we go from here?

 Where are you now, When I need you?
Em
Alone on an aeroplane,

Falling asleep against the window

My blood will thicken...

Verse: Same as verse 1.

Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat, In a sea of

And where are you?
They brought in the CIA,
The tanks and the whole marines to 
blow me away, To blow me sky high...
