Dragging Me Down Lyrics by Inspiral Carpets

The Singles

1992

I would search this world for you, even though you can't imagine
I wanna take you to China, I wanna kiss you in Rome
I'd use rocket ships, mine sweepers, transistor radio receivers
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you too tight
Gonna break every bone of everybody in sight
WHEN I'M FLYING SO HIGH (FLYING SO HIGH)
LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKY
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN, YEAH
BUT YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
I hear your talking and whispers, pale drawn out nails and fingers
I'm seeing shapes behind the curtain
You're looking older but you can't be certain
You're so tired (you're so tired) but you just can't sleep
You're so shallow (you're so shallow) but you're in too deep
Your hands shaking, body's lifting, body's mine
I know, I know, 'cause I told you so
When I'm flying so high (flying so high)
Like a plane in the sky
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down down down down
Oh, you're dragging me down, oh you're dragging me down
Drag, drag, dragging me down, oh you're dragging me down
Oh, you're dragging me, dragging me, dragging me, oh
(You're dragging me down)
(Oh) I never can quite remember, (oh) was it June, July or September?
(Oh) That you sold your soul to me, to me
(Oh) That you sold your soul to me, to me
When I'm flying so high (flying so high)
Like a plane in the sky
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down down down down
When I'm flying so high (flying so high)
Like a plane in the sky
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down, yeah
But you're dragging me down down down down
(Dragging me down) (7x)
