I knew love in dripping coffee,
Flooded streets, and rust and rotting
I knew love in drunken talking,
'Fore the weather changed.
And long before the fever dreams,
The pale faced machinery
Fore the rain came like artillery,
Pulled me underneath the flood
And underneath the flood it's quiet,
All my thoughts are softly dying,
All the rain, the rain is silent,
Underneath the flood
I was bred an anxious triste,
Soft of hand and soft of fist
Through sanity so tedious,
I'm surging in the blood
My hatred needs no victim,
Oh, my hatred like religion
Crucify me while I'm kicken,
Pull me underneath the flood
And underneath the flood it's quiet,
All my thoughts are softly dying,
All the rain, the rain is silent,
Underneath the flood -
And underneath the flood I'm drowning,
Have no friends to gather round me -
Oh my god, my greed has found me -
Underneath the flood!
And underneath the flood,
My tears all turn into the water
Rusted coins and crumpled dollars,
I sink underneath...
I sink underneath...
I sit here in torrential silence,
Coffee keeping up my eyelids
Thoughts of you all turn to violence,
I'm trying to find love.
But I hate how you believed in me,
Believed with cold objectivity
So tired I relinquished everything,
Fell underneath the flood...
And underneath the flood it's quiet,
All my thoughts are softly dying,
All the rain, the rain is silent,
Underneath... the flood
