Gary Numan - God Only Knows Lyrics






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

I was looking for fire
It could take me or leave me
It could all just burn away

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 could show you the pieces
But I just want to forget

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'

  1. M.... L....

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

    I was looking for fire
    It could take me or leave me
    It could all just burn away

    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 could show you the pieces
    But I just want to forget

    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'

    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 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

    How I survived God only knows.

  2. F.... A....

    The wailing of that PPG! Makes your hairs stand up!

  3. P.... C....

    One of my favourite numan tunes ever.

  4. B.... ....

    This just shows his great range as an artist. Shame a lot of Numan fans don't appreciate this more.

  5. M.... D....

    What is great tune from a great album!
