Street To Nowhere - Underneath the Flood lyrics

rate me

I knew love and drippin coffee

Flooded streets and rust and rotting

I knew love and drunken talking

'Fore the weather changed.

And long before the fever dreams

The pale-faced machinery

For 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.

Well I was bred in anxious tryst

All soft of hand and soft of fist

Through sanity so tedious

I'm searching in the blood.

Well my hatred needs no victim oh

My hatred like religion

Crucify me while I'm kickin

Pull me underneath the flood.

And underneath the flood it's quiet

All my thoughts are softly dying

Oh the rain, the rain is rising

Underneath the flood.

And underneath the flood I'm drowning

Have no friends to gather 'round me

Oh my god my fear has found me

Underneath the flood.

And underneath the flood

My tears are turning to the water

Crumbled, all is rusted copper

I sink underneath, sink underneath.

I sit here in torrential silence

Coffee keepin up my eyelids

Thoughts of you all turn to violence

Tryin to find love

But I hate how you believed in me

You believed with such 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.
