The Drowning Machine Songtext
von Gord Downie & the Country of Miracles

I am the deck
You are the sea
I am the lights on the water
You are moving underneath
Underneath me

I am the rail
You are the sea
I don′t know what I'm looking at
Don′t know if it's even happening
Underneath me

It doesn't take much
It doesn′t take much to ruin a moment like this

They curse your name
They whisper, "Please, please, please"
They′re yelling at your waves
"Stop crashing, just please bring her home to me"
People can be so mean
They call you The Drowning Machine


I'm the entertainment
You are the sea
I am the survivor
You didn′t even notice me
Underneath

I am the wreck
You are the sea
I yelled your name across the water
You just hummed a factory
Underneath me

It doesn't take much
It doesn′t take much to ruin a moment like this

I call your name
I whisper, "Please, please, please"
Not yelling at your waves
To stop crashing, just please, bring her home to me
But people can be so mean
They call you The Drowning Machine
The Drowning Machine
