lyrics

You can drown by association
You can drown by an open fire
But the thing that you said
Off the top of your head
Was enough to condition the choir

You can drown by association
You can drown in an empty jar
Man, if you coulda seen
The incandescent gleam
Of the people who smashed up our car

Well, maybe you'd know
Where we are
Where we'll go
When the shit is climbing over the wall
And the frothing mad crowd is inside
Maybe you'd see
We messed up
Now we're fucked
We should probably think of some other plan
It's about to be written again

You can drown by association
You can drown in a fancy tie
The insensitive sneer
That delivered us here
Was a ploy and a ruse and a lie

You can drown by association
You can drown when you think of that
Hey, remember the time
When we waited in line
And a seagull flew off with your hat?

Well, maybe you'd know
Where we are
Where we'll go
When the shit is climbing over the wall
And the frothing mad crowd is inside
Maybe you'd see
We messed up
Now we're fucked
We should probably think of some other plan
It's about to be written again
