Wrapped up in mosquito nets   Offer some protection   Curled up foetal in our beds   Naked we lay   Everybody says it but do they really mean it?   (You’ll be fine you’ll be fine)   Everybody waves it like a hand in my face   But what’s surviving anyway?      Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe   I need to hear it   Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe   I need to hear it, all of the time   I need to hear it   Tell me that I’m safe, tell me once again      Crawl into the overhead, ready for the thunder   Dreaming of the riverbed on some better day   Everybody’s saying that I’m doing really good now   (And how far I have come)   Everybody’s happy just to stay in one place   Coz what’s surviving anyway?      Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe   I need to hear it   Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe   I need to hear it, all of the time   I need to hear it   Tell me that I’m safe, tell me once again      Close my eyes I’m just like a newborn child   A newborn child I tell you   When I close my eyes   I’m just like a newborn child, a newborn child
