[Verse 1]
Like a gun in a bible
It's the secret I keep
We were prophets on hillsides
Back in London last week
[Verse 2]
Now I drive back to the main shop
Disappears like a dream
And I broke my good hand
Out here pouring concrete
[Chorus]
All I do is lose
Feels like whiplash
On the tarmac
Oooooh
When I come back
It's like whiplash
[Verse 3]
Like a dog in a bathtub
(I'm) hiding out from the storm
The label's gone quiet
All my calls get ignored
[Verse 4]
I head down to the dive bar
And when I walk in Sam leaves
The faithful apostles
Lean in close when I speak
[Chorus]
I wish it was you
Feels like whiplash
On the tarmac
Oooooh
When I come back
It's like whiplash
