I had a nightmare
Out on the water
Rushing river was ahead of me
All it wanted was a slaughter
And all my friends, afloat with me
Quietly drowning
No sound but the breeze
But there's no way I'm going under
No way
Strike up the drummer
Play me a song
I'm floating on
Strange clouds are gathering
All right, I'm tired of riddles
Never been lower
Don't know anyone who sleeps at night
Don't know anyone who's sober
Our wasted youth
My wasted friends
Is a circus of purchase of meaningless ends
But there's no way I'm going under
No way
Strike up the drummer
Play me a song
I'm floating on
Strange clouds are gathering
No way I'm going under
No way
Strike up the drummer
Play me a song
I'm floating on
Strange clouds are gathering
River floats me slow
Through all the towns I know
Train whistle blows
And from my back, the stars above
Are all the joys I've missed
Pointillist, growing fast
My day comes, at last
And love is really all
All right, I'm not John Lennon
But I dream in Beatles
Little honey for your head at night
Kind of need the way it feels
Our hopeless days
My hopeless friends
I'm done with 'em
Done with 'em
Done with 'em
Done with 'em
No way I'm going under
No way
Strike up the drummer
Play me a song
I'm floating on
Strange clouds are gathering
Strange clouds are gathering
Strange clouds are gathering
Strange clouds are gathering
Strange clouds are gathering
