Swimmin' Time

You can see the water Comin' outta the ground You can see the foundation Slipping down

And you can't help but wonder How long it will be Before the restless ocean Comes lapping to the branches of the trees

When the full moon Pulls up a mighty tide And there's no place to run And no place to hide

When the ghosts in the ocean Turn up the sea And the waves come crashin' Over you and me

I can see it comin'

In the distance is the gloom Of the end of days When the sun calls home Its wandering rays

When all of the iron Has gone to rust And every living thing Has turned to dust

There won't be anyone left To float your boat They all went to high ground While their vessels still float

They scream God's will But you know it's a lie By your own book It says by fire next time

The golden egg's cracked open And there was nothing inside Cast all dispersions Build a levy of lies

I can see it comin'

Bite down on the leather And close your eyes There's nothin' to be done That can turn the tide

The money in your eyes Has left you blind You'll be the one drownin' When it's swimmin' time

I can see it comin'
