Drink the Water lyrics

Drink the water, drink it down

This time I know I'm bound to spit it back up

I didn't want this salty substitute

Just not going to do, I need some air

If I'm going to live through

This experience reminds me of a clock that just won't tick

I want to wake up from this concussion

But my dream is just not done, I'm late again

It's just one of those bad days

Look outside and peek out for what you ride,

You just might find that you're out of time to swim ashore

If I drift long enough, I'll be home

He's got illusions between his ears,

Man, it takes up too much space

And all that tension between his gears,

Man, he'll never ever leave this place

He's got stones instead of bones and everybody knows

Aw, man, that can make you real, real slow

And if heaven were below, you'd know just where to go

Dive in the ocean and he'd sink like a stone

And he said it's time to swim ashore

If I drift long enough I'll be home

Hold on if you can,

You're gonna sink faster than you can imagine so...

Hold on if you can,

you're gonna sink faster than you can imagine so...

It's just time to swim ashore

If I drift long enough, I'll be home
