lyrics

it's not that hard
you've been doing it all your life
since you the you were born
and got slapped by the midwife
and you screamed and swore
you're gona pay her back
but she was not to blame
the cord was already cut
let the water fill your lungs keep breathing
like a cat in a bag drowned in a bath
keep breathing
don't hold your breath while you sink like a brick
keep breathing that's the trick
and here's the boat and here's a ferryman
you pull the ring from your finger
and throw it as far as you can
then you lose your concience
while little fish bite your toes
who's waiting for you
on the other side nobody knows
