Good Ideas Songtext
von Harpeth Rising

I′m up to my waist in muddy water
Sinking deeper every hour.
I walk into the swamp
'Cause it was gettin′ hotter
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

My skin is dry from the desert air,
My lips too stiff and drained.
I wandered alone 'cause you weren't there
Seemed like a good idea at the time.


I can′t see in this dark of night
My eyes are failing me.
You were brighter than the neon fire
So I turned off all of the lights
Seemed like a good idea at the time

I′m trying to warn you but I don't have a voice
′Cause I gave it to the man.
I refused to make a choice
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

(Instrumental)

My hands are tied to the rock of Gibraltar
My mind is given away.
I threw myself upon your altar
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

My time is here I can hear the knocking
Falling faster every second.
I jumped off a cliff 'cause I was bored of walking
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
