Quiet Hollers - Flood Song lyrics

All the drunks under the freeway Are waiting for some flood to come around And its so hard to keep my head above water Sometimes I just wanna let go and drown I live down where the river trash Washes up all the way to street And every once in a while I find something worth keeping But I still ain't never found my feet And I never paid much mind to storm warnings I say what's coming is coming all the same And its a perk of living under the freeway That you never get caught in the rain My whole life they've been talking about the big one But I never thought I'd see the day When I tidal wave worthy of biblical remembrance Would come to wash this whole city away And you can try to hold your own against it You can stack them sandbags ten-high I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft Watching those barricades drift on by They don't hide hope under that freeway Just one last stop on your way underground And, no, I don't mind the thought of dying with the city If we've all gotta drown 'cause there's a peace that comes with drowning I think I read that once anyway A rush of a thing called dimethyltryptamine That comes right as your lungs give way And you can try to hold your own against it You can stack them sandbags ten-high I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft Watching those barricades drift on by
