3 - The Emerald Undertow lyrics

Careless Kim went for a swim Where none could hear her shout She got in to cool her skin And never did get out Day break, they drag the lake And find no body though But she's there, I know, somewhere below The emerald undertow And though I saw her going under I could only watch in wonder 'Cause I don't swim so well It's a miracle I'm mobile At the Choir Girl Hotel There are teardrops in the water Another wish in the well How could I tell They find I'm a peeping tom, I'm gonna go to Hell It's late, I'm laughing in my room Though I don't get the joke I grind my grin Throat closes in As chuckle turns to choke And though I saw her going under I could only watch in wonder 'Cause I don't swim so well It's a miracle I'm mobile At the Choir Girl Hotel There are teardrops in the water Another wish in the well How could I tell They find I'm a peeping tom, I'm gonna go to Hell So here I am, your sleepless little lamb The water makes me numb But if six feet deep is the only way to sleep Then baby, here I come And though I saw her going under I could only watch in wonder You know that I don't swim so well It's a miracle I'm mobile At the Choir Girl Hotel There are teardrops in the water Another wish in the well For someone who don't swim so well But you know time will only tell Lets hope the feather tips the scale at the gates of Hell
