Lyrics
Drowning Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's sinking faster than a drowning man
He'll grab a hold of anyone he can
Gun in his pocket and a heart of ham
Uncle Sam
He's dying faster than a rabid dog
Infect us all now he's losing blood
Nose for trouble and a soul of rock
Smokey's man
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
There's not much flesh
Just skin and bone
Cheeks sunk deep
Eyes popping wide
Don't put out a hand to help him
This drowning man will bite it right off
RIGHT OFF
RIGHT OFF
RIGHT OFF
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
MID
He's selling faster than a magazine
Infect us all with his TV Screen
Don't drag me down
I don't wanna drown
Your going down
NA NANA NA NANA NANA NA NA
