lyrics

SINKING GOT ME SWIMMING


Take the hurry from your head
Put your worrying to rest
If we can die any old time it’s time we put it to the test
Stomp the starch out of your collar or you might just break your neck
I got some dirty water if you got a dirty dress
We could drink like weary sailors smiling at the sinking ship

Thinking sinking got me swimming with all my sinking friends

I had a touch of vertigo
Frantic scrambling after ropes
I found that I could not erase it, so I embraced the come-and-go
Dragging dead meat up the mountain tops
I rise to rock and roll
Let’s roll another number
It ain’t no one's but our own
We’re stumbling and fumbling staying steady down the road

We’re stumbling and fumbling staying steady down the road

Burn the box over your head
The mental vines aren’t vestiges
They don’t fear us going out our minds
They fear us going in
And crazy is used vaguely just to trap what don’t fit in
If you’re making what they’re breaking they’re gonna try and break your wrist
And the greatest line I ever saw was written in a ditch

Sinking got me swimming with all my sinking friends
