"Drowned"

There are men high up there fishing

Haven't seen quite enough of the world

I ain't seen a sign of my heroes

And I'm still diving down for pearls

Oh, let me flow into the ocean

Yeah, yet me get back to the sea

Let me be stormy and let me be calm

Let the tide in, and set me free

I'm flowing under bridges

Then flying through the sky

I'm traveling down cold metal

Just a tear in baby's eye

Oh, let me flow into the ocean

Oh, let me get back to the sea

Let me be stormy and let me be calm

Let the tide in and set me free

Set me free

I am not the actor

This can't be the scene

But I am in the water

As far as I can see

Ooh, I'm remembering distant memories

Recalling other names

Rippling over canyons

And boiling in the train

Oh, let me flow into the ocean

Let me get back to the sea

Let me be stormy and let me be calm

Let the tide in and set me free

Set me free

Set me free

I wanna drown

In cold water
