Lyrics
I used to read those books about the men in submarines
When coming up for air was only in their dreams
Living under water with no enemy in sight
Caused the pressure on the pressure of a never ending night
That takes you down
Like a papier-mâché paddle in a wire frame canoe
And the current is flowing fast and there is nothing you can do about it
Forget your life vest that is sadly left ashore
It’s one more insane regret too present to ignore
You are going down
Things get complicated when fear is in the air
You think your Karma is fated
The plan is there
You stand and stare
But who'll be left to care
That you're going down...
Well he used to read the books about battles in the war
Carriers and cruisers and the stuff worth fighting for
He might have seen Montana but a gunshot took him down
Nobody heard the warnings that "it’s quicker when you drown”
They're going down
You stand and stare
But who'll be left to care
That you're going down
