Ready for Drowning

Here's a true story

Said someone to me yesterday

Said he'd heard it in a taxi

Must have had him at my mercy

I drown that poor thing

Put it out of its misery

Condemn it to its future

Deny its history

Deny its history

So where are we going?

We're not ready for drowning

So where are we going?

We're not ready for drowning

Look through my venetian blinds

Dusting the past off my mind

Seeing orange everywhere

I'd go to Patagonia

But it's harder there

I'll do anything to prove I care

Fascinated by good

Destroyed by evil

What is there to believe in?

So where are we going?

We're not ready for drowning

So where are we going?

We're not ready for drowning

I will bring the whole edifice down on their unworthy heads

So where are we going?

We're not ready for drowning

So where are we going?

We are not waving, we're drowning
