REM - Undertow lyrics

rate me

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

I know what I wanted

I know what I wanted

I know how I wanted this to be

You go down to the water

Drink down of the water

Walk up off the water, leave it be

This is not my time, sister

It is cold in heaven

And I'm not sprouting wings

I'm drowning

Me

I'm drowning

Me, yeah

Brother can you see those birds?

They don't look to heaven

They don't need religion, they can see

They go down to the water

Drink down on the water

Fly up off the water, leave it be

This is not my time, sister

It is cold in heaven

And no one's coming after me

(chorus)

I'm drowning

Breathing ourselves

Me, yeah

Breathing ourselves

I'm drowning

Breathing ourselves

Me, yeah

You know I am tired

Cold and bony tired

Nothing's gonna save me, I can see

I can't say I'm fearful

I can't say I'm not afraid

But I am not resisting, I can see

I don't need a heaven

I don't need religion

I am in the place where I should be

I am breathing water

I am breathing water

You know a body's got to breathe

(repeat chorus 2x)
