Lazily Drowning

Grant Lee Phillips

On a sea of untapped leagues

Rocking to and fro I dreamed

Far below there was a monster

Golden finned with confidence

Churns the muddy floor alive

Drowns the voices in the water



Lazily drowning

Ferry me downstream

Lazily drowning

Not a care in the world

In the blink of an hour

Races a lifetime

Lazily drowning

Not a care in the world

Not a caring world



A raft of waves to ride

A torch of ice to lead

Where the currents cool meander

And these strange persuasive tides

Draw me closer still tonight

On my voyage of surrender



Lazily drowning

Ferry me downstream

Lazily drowning

Not a care in the world

Not a caring world

In the blink of an hour

Races a lifetime

Lazily drowning

Not a care in the world

Not a caring world



Onyx slivers catch the light

Still a slave in heaven's eye

But I'm soon to be delivered

For the tales that we've been fed

Only leave ya dumb and deaf

To the gospel of the river



Lazily drowning

Ferry me downstream

Lazily drowning

Not a care in the world

Not a caring world

In the blink of an hour

Races a lifetime

Lazily drowning

Not a care in the world

Not a caring world

Not a care in the world

Not a caring world



No no no

Lazily lazily

Lazily lazily

Lazily drowning
