Thrasher

They say
«Things'll turn your way
Shut your eyes and say a prayer
And when you least expect
It’ll come to you»
Here it comes for you
The years click by
Feeling like a day
You wear your life
Down like a shoe
You can trade it for a new one
Til it comes to you
Here it comes for you
Bible black
Shearing glass
No idea if I was moving ahead
Or turning back
Not for a moment
Not for an instant
Did I ask
«Is it time to stop?»
When the wave
(When the wave)
Pulls me under
(When it pulls me under)
I hold fast to myself
Keep on thrashing
Hello! hello I’m in the dark water
Alone! alone in the dark water
I’m in the dark water
I’m in the dark water
«So you got a dream
What good’s it gonna do?
Chuck it in the sea
They say
«Pictures or it never happened to you»
Til it comes for you
The people buzz around
Bleed into a blur
No regard for anything living
Like the earth’s an apple
And when we’re through
We can start anew
Just up ahead
Turn my head to the left
See the Taj Mahal
Sinking like Atlantis
Not for a moment
Not for an instant
Did I ask
«Could this be real?»
When the wave
(When the wave)
Pulls me under
(When it pulls me under)
I hold fast to myself, keep on thrashing
Hello? hello I’m in the dark water
Alone, alone in the dark water!
I’m in the dark water
I’m in the dark water
Hemingway feels years ago
Can’t think how far I’ve left ahead
Bonnie I should know better, I know
I, I, I, I, I
When the wave pulls me under
I hold fast to myself keep on thrashing
When the world takes more than you offered
Hold fast to yourself, reach out, don’t wait
For it to come to you
Reach out, don’t wait
Here it comes for you
Here it comes for you
Reach out, don’t wait
I’m in the dark water
I’m in the dark water
