From The Bottom Of A Whirlpool Songtext
von Gumshoes

I was sputtered out like a fished up trout
From the crater pool of Y2K
And when I hit the deck I did not expect
The winds to turn and surge my way
And the truth I floundered to
II that all that′s truly true
Is how the world revolves around everyone
Everyone but you

And currents to the west will test a sailor's best
The waves are channeled as Poseidon breathes
No course correction seemed to stop the meeting
Of the seams between the skies and seas
And in a land of endless blue
Both fisherman and fish together knew
Of how the world revolves around everyone
Everyone but you


And the styx is a stagnant river
That flows into a stagnant sea
That spirals down a stagnant whirlpool
That′ll take you down to me, oh no
That'll take you down to me, oh no

You know I tend to find that it's a very straight line
That′s sliced up by the fates
And the dolphins and the turtles from the bottom of a whirlpool
Have an accent I can′t quite place
And so they sing a tune
That I don't know the lyrics to
And I get a funny feeling
Like I′ve missed some kind of cue

I settled to the floor in a house so very storied
In the cheaper part of town
It's built from little bits of Theseus′ ship
And there's plenty to go around


And if I made a left
When stepping my baby steps
I′d find another river
Settle in the same old wreck
And might I realise
The eye's the one true limb
And we're just watching in the water
Like we never thought to swim
And the channel ain′t too wide
To reach the other side
So say the lucky fuckers
Washed up by the tide
Washed up and out and up and out and up and out and under

And the styx is a stagnant river
That flows into a stagnant sea
That spirals down a stagnant whirlpool
That′ll take you down to me, oh no
That'll take you down to me, oh no
