The Current
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.
Goin' down.
Goin' down.
Down where my breath is the only sound.
Goin' down.
Goin' down.
Goin' down.
Don't look for me now, I'm not around, all day long I'm underground.
(Chorus)
I've been thinkin' about the future.
I've been waitin' for the day.
Let the current carry me, far away.
Let the current carry me away.
Current flows, I don't know where it goes.
I don't care, I just get it there.
Took this job, 'cus I needed one.
'bout seven years, since I've seen the sun, all day long, I'm underground.
(Chorus)
I've been thinkin' about the future.
I've been waitin' for the day.
Let the current carry me, far away.
Let the current carry me away.
I've been thinkin' about the future.
I hope someday, I'll get away.
But the current keeps bringin' me, back around.
Seems the only place for me is, underground.
So tomorrow when the sun comes up, I'll be goin' down.
Goin' down.
Goin' down.
