The Drowners
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.
Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well it's for my brother,
Well he writes the line wrote down my spine
It says "oh do you believe in love there?"
So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir we drown, stop taking me over
Won't someone give me some fun?
(and as the skin flies all around us)
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners
Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir we drown,
Stop taking me over!
