lyrics

Writing on the back of a postcard,
There's a billion other ways to say, "I won't go away,"
no, no, we won't go way,
A million ways to phase the poison in my veins,

That's flowing and going in rhythm with this waterbed,
underneath my head,
The world is rushing around me, so I fled, motivation dead

All these words surround me,
And all these thoughts confound me,
If there's a way out, a way out, then let it come and find me,
I wish I had a waterbed 'cause I wanna die in bed, but people say drowning 's cool,

And how do we find the words that come out of our mouths,
When I'm screaming them out,
And the truth comes out
The silence combined with the veil over my mind,

That's flowing and going in rhythm with this waterbed underneath my head
The world's rushing around me so I fled, motivation dead

All these words surround me,
And all these thoughts confound me,
If there's a way out, a way out, then let it come and find me,
I wish I had a waterbed 'cause I wanna die in bed, but people say drowning 's cool,

3X - Oh no no, oh no no we won't go, we won't go.
I wish I had a waterbed cuz I wanna die in bed but people say drownings cool,

All these words surround me,
And all these thoughts confound me,
If there's a way out, a way out, then let it come and find me,
I wish I had a waterbed 'cause I wanna die in bed, but people say drowning 's cool.
