  • Are you aching for the blade?
    That's okay
    We're insured
    Are you aching for the grave?
    That's okay
    We're insured

    We're getting away with it all messed up
    Getting away with it all messed up
    That's the living

    Daniel's saving Grace
    She's out in deep water
    Hope he's a good swimmer

    Daniel plays his ace
    Deep inside his temple
    He knows how to surf her

    We're getting away with it all messed up
    Getting away with it all messed up
    That's the living

    We're getting away with it all messed up
    We're getting away with it all messed up
    That's the living

    Daniel drinks his weight
    Drinks like Richard Burton
    Dance like John Travolta, now

    Daniel's saving Grace
    He was all but drowning
    Now they live like dolphins

    We're getting away with it all messed up
    We're getting away with it all messed up
    That's the living

    We're getting away with it all messed up
    We're getting away with it all messed up
    That's the living

    We're getting away with it all messed up
    We're getting away with it all messed up
    That's the living

    Oh, we're getting away with it all messed up
    Getting away with it all messed up
    That's the living

    Getting away with it
    We're getting away with it
    That's the living
    That's the living Writer/s: David John Baynton-Power, James Glennie, Mark Hunter, Saul Davies, Timothy Booth
