3 - The Emerald Undertow lyrics

rate me

Careless Kim went for a swim

Where none could hear her shout

She got in to cool her skin

And never did get out

Day break, they drag the lake

And find no body though

But she's there, I know, somewhere below

The emerald undertow

And though I saw her going under

I could only watch in wonder

'Cause I don't swim so well

It's a miracle I'm mobile

At the Choir Girl Hotel

There are teardrops in the water

Another wish in the well

How could I tell

They find I'm a peeping tom, I'm gonna go to Hell

It's late, I'm laughing in my room

Though I don't get the joke

I grind my grin

Throat closes in

As chuckle turns to choke

And though I saw her going under

I could only watch in wonder

'Cause I don't swim so well

It's a miracle I'm mobile

At the Choir Girl Hotel

There are teardrops in the water

Another wish in the well

How could I tell

They find I'm a peeping tom, I'm gonna go to Hell

So here I am, your sleepless little lamb

The water makes me numb

But if six feet deep is the only way to sleep

Then baby, here I come

And though I saw her going under

I could only watch in wonder

You know that I don't swim so well

It's a miracle I'm mobile

At the Choir Girl Hotel

There are teardrops in the water

Another wish in the well

For someone who don't swim so well

But you know time will only tell

Lets hope the feather tips the scale at the gates of Hell
