Oh me oh my How large a desire To run from the streets in only our sheets Kicking our shoes off and playing in the heat I would watch a bead of sweat drip down Tracing the curves of yourself frown Forward for win or forward for war Because we should be swimming Going long into the night as if we were different We Should be swimming Oh we should be swimming Going long into the night as if we were different We should be swimming Oh me oh my I'm feverish with this life Stumbling through hoops tripping over these loops Pushed by the pen and forced by the boots So I look to you for some release Touched things aside in such a peace Boozing your hand so hard I squeeze Because we should be swimming Going long into the night as if we were different We Should be swimming Oh we should be swimming Going long into the night as if we were different We should be swimming Hold your breath Float down to this sea bed Then we'll see how long we can sleep Hold your breath Float down to this sea bed Then we'll see how long we can sleep Hold your breath Float down to this sea bed Then we'll see how long we can sleep Hold your breath Float down to this sea bed Then we'll see how long we can sleep (REPEAT 2x) Because we should be swimming Going on into the night as if we were different We Should be swimming Oh we should be swimming Going on into the night as if we were different We should be swimming
