Tobermory (2000)

“Drowning Machine”

 

Keep your wits don’t look back
Focus on the straight ahead
Voices now will only crack
The last good wishes have been said

Welcome to the world
Of the drowning machine
You cannot turn back
From the drowning machine.

It’s a hard ride coming down
Into unfamiliar ground
It’s a wonder there is something left
Of a heart still beating.

Welcome to the world
Of the drowning machine
You cannot turn back
From the drowning machine.

In the charge of an ordinary life
In and out of a dream
Will the waterfall wash away the tears
Will the dreaming prevail
But listen, I’m ready.
