All the drunks under the freeway
Are waiting for some flood to come around
And its so hard to keep my head above water
Sometimes I just wanna 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
And I never paid much mind to storm warnings
I say what's coming is coming all the same
And its 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 St 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
And, 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 St on a life raft
Watching those barricades drift on by
You can try to hold your own against it
You can stack them sandbags ten-high
I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft
Watching those barricades drift on by
