Lyrics
College boy?stayed in school?.studied hard?played it safe
Put his dreams up high on a shelf?gotta grow up now?after all
Immersed in ordinary details?everyday lot?s of things to do
Always so busy going with the damn flow?he didn?t even have a clue
He was Drowning In His Own Life?. Drowning In His Own Life
There?s a lesson to be learned?. but he doesn?t realize
That?s he?s Drowning In His Own Life?
He?s Drowning In His Own Life
Treading water, stay afloat? pay the bills? go to work
Sinks into despair once again?and he?s not sure why
Always that damn dream deferred thing?that pulls him down
He needs to send an SOS? but he doesn?t even realize?
That he?s Drowning In His Own Life? Drowning In His Own Life
There?s a lesson to be learned but he hasn?t realized
That he?s Drowning In His Own Life
Drowning In His Own Life
He could use a bit of help ? life preserver ? rescue boat
He needs a little hope and love and peace?if he?s ever gonna stay afloat
But there?s no rescue boat coming?no help of any kind in sight
So once again he climbs into his bed?and just shuts off the light?
Chorus:
Melancholy man ..life of quiet desperation? no one sees?
Floundering in a sea of suburban obligation? no one cares
Waves of mediocrity crashing round his head?(he?s going down)
Nothing but blue? everywhere he looks and at last he finally sees?
Chorus:
