Swim

Sink to the bottom Only to wind up belly-up on your bedroom floor Innocuous form I'm in the water half of the day But still, you wade till I'm ready to float And carry me home We'll be alright in the morning When the world is on fire we'll be treading in the yard Till I'm ready to float And you carry me home We're dancing outside in the purple dark By the blood that we shed on the boulevard I know that you carry me home You carry me home to swim (Swim, swim, to swim) Locked to the love seat Flash me your front teeth It's cherry and bone, cherry and bone You are the athlete I am the astronaut, for thousands of miles afloat Still, you carry me home We'll be alright in the morning When the world is on fire we'll be treading in the yard 'Till I'm ready to float And you carry me home and we're dancing outside in the purple dark By the blood that we shed on the boulevard I know that you carry me home You carry me home to swim, (swim) The world is on fire (and you carry me) And I'm ready to (carry me home) To swim, swim The world is on fire and I'm ready to float Goodbye to my mother whose body I lived in Turned blood into water and taught me to swim We'll be alright in the morning When the world is on fire we'll be treading in the yard Till I'm ready to float And you carry me home We're dancing outside in the purple darke By the blood that we shed on the boulevard I know that you carry me home And you carry me home to swim (Swim, to swim) Carry me home (to swim)
