Sinking and Swimming On Long Island
This place is dragging me down
A hamster wheel
I thought I'd be done by now
Now that all my allies are gone
I realize advancing can hold you back
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Til everything's gone
Til everything's gone
All's find along the Long Island sound
But fine's polite
I'd rather things more profound
I've become a rock these days
And I swim like one, alone again
Barely surviving the tidal wave
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Til everything's gone
Til everything's gone
I swear
Damn it all to hell
Damn it all to hell
I think I finally found the way
To go to heaven without dying
So I'm on my way
The harder you work, the harder you fall
You wake up one day with nothing at all
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Til everything's gone
Til everything's gone
I swear
Damn it all to hell
