The Emerald Undertow Songtext
von 3

Careless kid went for a swim
When none could hear her shout
She got in to cool her skin
And never did get out
Daybreak, they drag the lake
And find no body, no
But she′s there, I know, somewhere below
The emerald undertow

And though I saw her going under
I could only watch her from the ground
'Cause I don′t swim so well
It's a miracle I'm up and the quagga holds
There are teardrops in the water
Another wish in the well
How could I tell
If I don′t peep in, I won′t go to hell


This way I'm laughing in my room
Though I don′t get the joke
I dry my grin from a close season
As charcoal turns to chalk

And though I saw her going under
I could only watch her from the ground
'Cause I don′t swim so well
It's a miracle I′m up and the quagga holds
There are teardrops in the water
Another wish in the well
How could I tell
If I don't peep in, I won't go to hell

So here I am, your sleepless little lamb
And all the things we know
But it takes me deep, it′s the only way to sleep
When they make you wake up


And though I saw her going under
I could only watch her from the ground
You know I don′t swim so well
It's a miracle I′m up and the quagga holds
There are teardrops in the water
Another wish in the well
Someone who don't swim so well
She no harm, no harm at all
Let′s hope a feather tips the scale and negates her hell
