Lyrics
Mama drain the bathtub, I'm drowning. The storm is rushing on in. Mama drain the bathtub I''m drowning. The cold water is pruning my skin. Mama drain the bathtub, I'm drowning. This chill is making me dull. Mama drain the bathtub, I'm drowning. And there's somebody bathing inside my skull. And I'm first to blame, I'll probably drown in this thing. And aint it a shame, I only wanted to get clean. To the sea. To the sea. Down, down, down, down, down. I'm standing in rising water; I don't know what to do now. I'm standing in rising water; I've got to find my way out somehow. Mama drain the bathtub, I'm drowning. The drain is sucking me down. Mama drain the bathtub, Im drowning. and I dont want to wear a porceline crown. Hey, hey, I want to be squeaky clean.
