We Should Be Swimming

Oh me oh my

How large a desire

To run from the streets in only our sheets

Kicking our shoes off and cling in the heat

I would watch a bead of sweat drip down

Tracing the curves of your soft frown

-- of wind or --- of wolves

'Cause 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

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 boot

So I look to you for some release

toss things aside inside your peace

boozing your hand so hard I squeeze

'Cause 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

Hold your breath

float down to the seabed

and we'll see how long we can sleep

(x4)

'Cause 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
