Shovels & Rope - Thresher lyrics

Artist: Shovels & Rope

album: Swimmin' Time (Deluxe Edition)


On a clear April day, 1963
Took a memorable ride on a silver submarine
One hundred plus men
John, Wesley, Harvey and me
All aboard the SSN-593
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, down, down, down
♪
"Harvey to base
We're at 1,000 feet
Jimmy's doing real good
I think he's getting a hold of this thing"
Then the rattle of pipes
Then the hiss of the steam
I was the man of the hour 'til alarm bells started ringing
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, down, down, down
Oh, thresher
We can't take no more
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
♪
Wonder and fear
Unending Black Sea
Held everyone's gaze in a quiet humility
Mother ocean we are
At the mercy of thee
Like children in uniform balancing on your knee
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, down, down, down
Oh, thresher
We can't take no more
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
Oh, thresher
We can't take no more
Slow pirouette into the arms of the ocean floor
