Eels - Swimming Lesson lyrics

If the world's a rotten place You better just forget it In the crowd just another face Gonna make 'em regret it Take a heart and squash it hard Like a little grape Push it down 'tween boot and ground 'Til it loses shape And if you feel like you can't swim When you're thrown in the lake Just watch the bugs Pa**in' by you as you Slip under their wake Again If you let your feelings shine You better cover 'em up, kid Ain't no sense in wastin' time Dream behind your eyelids Take a heart and squash it hard Like a little bug Swig it down and spit it out And kick it under the rug And if you feel like you can't swim When you're thrown in the lake Just watch the bugs Pa**in' by you as you Slip under their wake Again Take a heart and squash it hard Like a little ant Scrape it off the sole of your shoe On the welcome mat And if you feel like you can't swim When you're thrown in the lake Just watch the bugs Pa**in' by you as you Slip under their wake Again Ooh Ooh
