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>
