Swimmin' Time

You can see the water
Comin' out of the ground
You can see the foundation
Slipping down

And you can't help but wonder
How long it will be
Before the restless ocean
Comes lapping to the branches of the trees

When the full moon pulls up a mighty tide
And there's no place to run and no place to hide
When the ghosts in the ocean turn up the sea
And the waves come crashin' over you and me

I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'

In the distance is the gloom of the end of days
When the sun calls home its wandering rays
When all of the iron has gone to rust
And every living thing has turned to dust
There won't be anyone left to float your boat
They all went to high ground while their vessels still float

They scream God's will, but you know it's a lie
By your own book it says "By fire next time"
The golden egg's cracked open
And there was nothing inside
Cast all dispersions, build a levy of lies

I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'

Bite down on the leather and close your eyes
There's nothin' to be done that can turn the tide
The money in your eyes has left you blind
You'll be the one drownin' when it's swimmin' time

I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'
I can see it comin'

I can see it comin'
