Shovels & Rope - Swimmin’ Time

Текст песни

You can see the water comin' outta the ground
You can see the foundation slipping down
And you can’t help but wonder how long it will be Before the restless ocean comes lapping to the branches of the trees
When the full moon pulls up a mighty tide
And there’s no place to run, a nd no place to hide
When the ghosts in the ocean turn up the sea
And the waves come crashin' over you and me I can see it comin', I can see it comin'
I can see it comin', I can see it comin'
In the distance is the gloom of the end of days
When the sun calls home its wandering rays
When all of the iron has gone to rust
And every living thing has turned to dust
There won’t be anyone left to float your boat
They all went to high ground while their vessels still float
They scream God’s will, but you know it’s a lie
By your own book it says by fire next time
The golden egg’s cracked open and there was nothing inside
Cast all dispersions, build a levy of lies
I can see it comin', I can see it comin'
I can see it comin', I can see it comin'
Bite down on the leather and close your eyes
There’s nothin' to be done that’ll turn the tide
The money in your eyes has left you blind
You’ll be the one drownin' when it’s swimmin' time
I can see it comin', I can see it comin'
I can see it comin', I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'
