Swimmin' Time |
| You can see the water comin' outta the ground |
| You can see the foundation slipping down |
| And you can’t help but wonder how long it will be Before the restless ocean comes lapping to the branches of the trees |
| When the full moon pulls up a mighty tide |
| And there’s no place to run, a nd no place to hide |
| When the ghosts in the ocean turn up the sea |
| And the waves come crashin' over you and me I can see it comin', I can see it comin' |
| I can see it comin', I can see it comin' |
| In the distance is the gloom of the end of days |
| When the sun calls home its wandering rays |
| When all of the iron has gone to rust |
| And every living thing has turned to dust |
| There won’t be anyone left to float your boat |
| They all went to high ground while their vessels still float |
| They scream God’s will, but you know it’s a lie |
| By your own book it says by fire next time |
| The golden egg’s cracked open and there was nothing inside |
| Cast all dispersions, build a levy of lies |
| I can see it comin', I can see it comin' |
| I can see it comin', I can see it comin' |
| Bite down on the leather and close your eyes |
| There’s nothin' to be done that’ll turn the tide |
| The money in your eyes has left you blind |
| You’ll be the one drownin' when it’s swimmin' time |
| I can see it comin', I can see it comin' |
| I can see it comin', I can see it comin' |
| I can see it comin' |
