Swimmin’ Time - Shovels & Rope

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, a nd 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', I can see it comin'

I can see it comin', 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', I can see it comin'

I can see it comin', I can see it comin'

Bite down on the leather and close your eyes

There’s nothin' to be done that’ll 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', I can see it comin'

I can see it comin', I can see it comin'

I can see it comin'
