Swim

Sink to the bottom. Only to wind up belly up on your bedroom Floor. Innocuous form. I'm underwater, Half of the day, but still you wait 'til I'm ready to float, And carry me home. We'll be all right in the morning. When the world is on fire we'll be treading Water 'til I'm ready to float, And you carry me home. We're dancing outside in the purple dark by the Blood-heavy chair on the boulevard. I know that you carry me home. You carry me home to 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 I float. Still you carry me home. We'll be all right in the morning. When the world is on fire we'll be treading Water 'til I'm ready to float, And you carry me home. We're dancing outside in the purple dark by the Blood-heavy chair on the boulevard. I know that you carry me home. You carry me home to swim. Swim. The world is on fire, carry me and I'm Ready to float. 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 all right in the morning. When the world is on fire we'll treading Water 'til I'm ready to float, And you carry me home. We're dancing outside in the purple dark by the Blood-heavy chair on the boulevard. I know that you carry me home, And you carry me home to swim. Swim. To swim. You carry me home to swim.
