Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Drown that poor thing
Put it out of its misery
Condemn it to its future
Deny its history
Deny its history
[Verse 2]
So where are we goin'?
We are not ready for drowning
So where are we goin'?
We are not ready for drowning
[Verse 3]
Lookin' 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?
[Verse 4]
So where are we goin'?
We are not ready for drowning
So where are we goin'?
We are not ready for drowning
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 5]
So where are we goin'?
We are not ready for drowning
So where are we goin'?
We are not ready for drowning
