The Wild Party movie - Let Me Drown lyrics
rate me<br>
BURRS<br>
And now, ladies and gentlemen, <br>
The moment you've all been waiting for: <br>
The clown takes the center ring!<br>
<br>
I've changed my mind<br>
Let the evening rage ahead<br>
By tomorrow morning we could be dead drunk<br>
Or just dead.<br>
<br>
If she won't talk to me I've plenty else to do<br>
I'll talk to you<br>
And you and you and you and <br>
I think we're due for a :<br>
I think we're due for a :<br>
I think we're due for a :<br>
<br>
You think I'm headed for disaster<br>
You think I'm going up in flames<br>
You wanna break my fall<br>
You wanna stop them all from calling me names. <br>
<br>
You'd like to chain me down in irons<br>
You'd like to give me your support<br>
But when you se me stand<br>
Martini glass in hand<br>
The rescue you've got planned<br>
Must be aborted.<br>
<br>
Let me drown, this evening, <br>
Let me drown<br>
If I'm blue, let me truly play the clown<br>
Let me sail<br>
Let me sink<br>
Let me teeter on the brink<br>
Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown.<br>
<br>
You'd like to see me at confession<br>
You hope I learn from my mistakes<br>
You wanna save my soul<br>
But when I'm on a roll, <br>
Lay off of the brakes<br>
<br>
You think that when I meet my maker<br>
(Hello, Maker!)<br>
That cat'll be all dressed in red<br>
But every morn I pray<br>
That on that lucky day<br>
I'll hear that devil say<br>
"Son, pour it steady!"<br>
<br>
BURRS KATE & MEN <br>
And let me drown, this evening, <br>
Let me drown <br>
Whoa, let me drown! <br>
If I'm low, let slowly paint the town <br>
Go, grab a dollah <br>
And follah me! <br>
When they ask for the roof <br>
Let me answer "Hundred Proof!" <br>
<br>
Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown. <br>
Drown, drown, drown, drown, drown. <br>
Let me drown in females foreign <br>
Let me dangle from a limb Ooooh... <br>
Teach me how to put my oar in <br>
But don't you dare to teach me <br>
How to swim! <br>
<br>
KATE ENSEMBLE <br>
Let me drown, this evening, let me drown Let me drown! <br>
If you smile <br>
For a while <br>
I'll wear the frown Go slap that happy face <br>
<br>
<br>
BURRS <br>
Let me go <br>
Set me free I wanna run now <br>
<br>
Let me at that S.O.B. KATE <br>
No! <br>
<br>
BURRS & ENSEMBLE<br>
Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown<br>
Let me drown, till daybreak, <br>
Let me drown<br>
<br>
BURRS ENSEMBLE <br>
I'm the guy <br>
Guy! <br>
Who will buy <br>
Her wedding gown <br>
Here comes the bride. <br>
BURRS & MEN <br>
Till the dawn <br>
Breaks the spell <br>
All the world <br>
Can got to hell <br>
KATE & WOMEN <br>
Now, where is my bible? <br>
Strap me in <br>
Let me ride <br>
Till I'm on the other side <br>
Take me to the other side <br>
Let me rock <br>
Let me roll Let me roll <br>
<br>
BURRS<br>
Let me sacrifice my soul<br>
<br>
BURRS, KATE & ENSEMBLE<br>
Let me drown, <br>
Let me drown!<br>
<br>
(Queenie and Black find a quiet corner.)<br>
<br>
