Palila - Swim or Drown lyrics

Artist: Palila

album: Rock'n'Roll Sadness


Our car broke down some eighty days ago
We took what we could carry on our backs
In obscure glow
Nighthawks flew above our heads and
We were moving on with dirty feet
On concrete ground so free
Into the sea we'll wade
White foam tingling on our shins
Will we swim or will we drown?
Salt scum, skinny legs
No sun burning on our backs
Will we swim or will we drown?
The circus left our hometown long ago
It was the time when we left too
And begged dead wood to grow
Seasons came and went and came again
Next Monday we might reach the coast of memories
And then
Into the sea we'll wade
White foam tingling on our thighs
Will we swim or will we drown?
Salt scum, skinny legs
Dark waves splashing in our eyes
Will we swim or will we drown?
Black water coming,
Yellow rubber ring and oxygen
For King Scruple and Queen Grief, my friend
So come along – we carry on
