Swimmin' Time

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

And 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'

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'

Bite down on the leather

And close your eyes

There's nothin' to be done

That can 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'
