Coming Up for Air
Unveiling Truths: Kaiser Chiefs' 'Coming Up for Air'
Lyrics
In the west of town there's no promised land
In the western part of town, there is no promised land.
And if you can't get that through your head then fine
If you cannot understand or accept that fact, that's fine.
And if you want me to be honest with
If you want me to be honest with you.
You can ask me and I'll tell you everything
You can ask me, and I'll tell you everything.
And if you want to know a lie
If you want to hear a lie.
Then I'll tell you a lie
Then I will tell you a lie.
If you want to know the truth
If you want to know the truth.
Then I'll tell you
Then I'll tell you.
Oh when you're coming up for air
When you're surfacing for breath.
And you think there's someone there
And you believe there's someone there.
No you won't see me
No, you won't see me because I'm faster than you think.
Coz I'm faster than you think
As the world flies by and I close my eyes
As the world passes by and I close my eyes.
To empty office buildings and the five-a-side
To vacant office buildings and the five-a-side.
Where the air is thin in the morning light
Where the air is thin in the morning light.
If I'm on this road I'm gonna wait again
If I'm on this road, I'm going to wait again.
And if you want to know a lie
If you want to hear a lie.
Then I'll tell you a lie
Then I will tell you a lie.
If you want to know the truth
If you want to know the truth.
Then I'll tell you
Then I'll tell you.
Oh when you're coming up for air
When you're surfacing for breath.
And you think there's someone there
And you believe there's someone there.
No you won't see me
No, you won't see me because I'm faster than you think.
Coz I'm faster than you think
If you want the truth then just ask me
If you want the truth, then just ask me.
I will give it to you but you won't like it much
I will give it to you, but you won't like it much.
And if that's okay then we'll get on fine
If that's okay, then we'll get along fine.
And if not then we can call it quits
And if not, then we can call it quits.
And if you want to know a lie
If you want to hear a lie.
Then I'll tell you a lie
Then I will tell you a lie.
If you want to know the truth
If you want to know the truth.
Then I'll tell you
Then I'll tell you.
Oh when you're coming up for air
When you're surfacing for breath.
And you think there's someone there
And you believe there's someone there.
No you won't see me
No, you won't see me because I'm faster than you think.
Coz I'm faster than you think
And if that's okay then we'll get on fine
If that's okay, then we'll get along fine.
And if not then we can call it quits
And if not, then we can call it quits.
