When you're drowning Do you mind the rain? When you're drowning, brother When you're drowning do you Mind the rain? Wonder if I'll ever If I'll ever breathe free again Fighting for your life Every breath a handful of sand Fighting for your life Every breath a handful of sand Gonna grab my habit And leave this land Eight lungs and counting How much can one heart take? Eight lungs and counting How much can one heart take? Another operation And I'm bound to break Some people come, I hear them come Most people go Some people come, hear them come Most of them go Do you recall last winter's snow? Eight lungs and counting How much can one heart take? Eight lungs and counting How much can one heart take? Another operation And I'm bound to break Air rhymes with fear And the hiss of oxygen In my ear Tied to the tubes and sheets By a brand new disease Bed sores and sweaty pores Lord, hear my pleas The body knows But I can't remember Woke in January Or was it December? When you're drowning Do you mind the rain? When you're drowning, friend When you're drowning do you Mind the rain? Wonder if I'll ever breathe...
