Flood Song |
All the drunks under the freeway |
are waiting for some flood to come around |
and it’s so hard to keep my head above water |
sometimes I just want to let go and drown |
I live down where the river trash |
Washes up all the way to street |
and every once in a while I find something worth keeping |
but I still ain’t never found my feet |
I never paid much mind to storm warnings |
I say what’s coming is coming all the same |
and it’s a perk of living under the freeway |
that you never get caught in the rain |
my whole life they’ve been talking about the big one |
but I never thought I’d see the day |
when a tidal wave worthy of biblical remembrance |
would come to wash this whole city away |
and you can try to hold your own against it |
you can stack them sandbags ten-high |
I'll be floating down Main Street on a life raft |
watching those barricades drift on by |
They don’t hide hope under that freeway |
just one last stop on your way underground |
No, I don’t mind the thought of dying with the city |
if we’ve all gotta drown |
'cause there’s a peace that comes with drowning |
I think I read that once anyway |
a rush of a thing called dimethyltryptamine |
that comes right as your lungs give way |
and you can try to hold your own against it |
you can stack them sandbags ten-high |
I'll be floating down Main Street on a life raft |
watching those barricades drift on by |
