lyrics

I had a nightmare:
Out on the water,
Rushing river was ahead of me,
All it wanted was a slaughter.
And all my friends, afloat with me,
Quietly drowning.
No sound but the breeze.

But there’s no way I’m going under.
No way.
Strike up the drummer, play me a song.
I’m floating on.
Strange clouds are gathering.

All right, I’m tired of riddles.
Never been lower.
Don’t know anyone who sleeps at night.
Don’t know anyone who’s sober.
Our wasted youth, my wasted friends,
Is a circus of purchase of meaningless ends.

But there’s no way I’m going under.
No way.
Strike up the drummer, play me a song.
I’m floating on.
Strange clouds are gathering.
No way I’m going under.
No way.
Strike up the drummer, play me a song.
I’m floating on.
Strange clouds are gathering.

River floats me slow
Through all the towns I know,
Train whistle blows,
And from my back, the stars above
Are all the joys I’ve missed,
Pointillist, growing fast.
My day comes, at last.
And love is really all.

All right, I’m not John Lennon,
But I dream in Beatles.
Little honey for your head at night.
Kind of need the way it feels.
Our hopeless days,
My hopeless friends,
I’m done with ‘em.
Done with ‘em.
Done with ‘em.
Done with ‘em.

No way I’m going under.
No way.
Strike up the drummer,
Play me a song.
I’m floating on.
Strange clouds are gathering.
Strange clouds are gathering.
Strange clouds are gathering.
Strange clouds are gathering.
Strange clouds are gathering.
