Lyrics
I drank myself into a dream last night.
With every sip I saw things in a different light.
But when I woke, that light was grey,
and plastered right across my face
(But what I say)
If you listen to your soul one time,
you'd be amazed at all the secrets you will find.
Sitting right beneath your nose,
I know where your secrets go.
(Oh no no no.)
When all else has failed me,
and life's hammer nails me down,
you're around and you make it better.
When all else betrays me,
and life's anchor weighs me down,
I won't drown, I'll make it wetter
I lived my life as if a dream last night.
With every twist it seemed that I had got it right.
When I woke it was the same,
and not a thing was turning grey
(yeah)
When all else has failed me,
and life's hammer nails me down,
you're around and you make it better.
When all else betrays me,
and life's anchor weighs me down,
I won't drown, I'll make it wetter
(Na na na na, na na na na,
na na na na, na na na na na,
na na na na na,
you make it wetter)
