Drowning

Compromise around the corner

Can you hear the accountant's call

Could you refuse another dollar

Could you stop yourself from falling

So in between the sleepless nights

You dream that you are winning fights

But then it happens dreadful thing

A wave appears too big to swim

You're drowning you're drowning

You're drowning you're drowning

Buy a beach before next summer

How do you feel in the morning

If the light's an awful bother

I could always close the curtains

Just close your eyes and count to ten

See if you still remember when

Your life seemed easy you had friends

But that was different that was then

You're drowning you're drowning

Round and round

You're drowning

In a frenzy now

You're drowning

You want fe go in a de ocean

A so me say

I saw you drowning in slow motion

And now me learn

Far too late to make a commotion

Too late for you to show easy motion

That's why you go down to the bottom say you can't reach the top

Get stuck on the bottom say you can't reach the top

A two days later say they find you 'pon the rocks

Say ha ha ha ha ha bad luck eh so

Tell yourself until you're certain

When you hear the accountants call

You'll buy a beach before next summer

Swim away and leave it all

So underwater deaf and blind

Under such pressures you might find

A secret right before the end

That makes you want to breathe again

You're drowning you're drowning

Round and round

You're drowning

In a frenzy now

You're drowning you're drowning

Round and round

You're drowning you're drowning

Round and round

You're drowning
