Andrew Lippa - Let Me Drown lyrics

BURRS And now, ladies and gentlemen The moment you've all been waiting for: The clown takes the center ring! I've changed my mind Let the evening rage ahead By tomorrow morning we could be dead drunk Or just dead If she won't talk to me I've plenty else to do I'll talk to you And you and you and you and I think we're due for a : I think we're due for a : I think we're due for a : You think I'm headed for disaster You think I'm going up in flames You wanna break my fall You wanna stop them all from calling me names You'd like to chain me down in irons You'd like to give me your support But when you se me stand Martini gla** in hand The rescue you've got planned Must be aborted Let me drown, this evening Let me drown If I'm blue, let me truly play the clown Let me sail Let me sink Let me teeter on the brink Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown You'd like to see me at confession You hope I learn from my mistakes You wanna save my soul But when I'm on a roll Lay off of the brakes You think that when I meet my maker (Hello, Maker!) That cat'll be all dressed in red But every morn I pray That on that lucky day I'll hear that devil say "Son, pour it steady!" BURRS KATE & MEN And let me drown, this evening Let me drown Whoa, let me drown! If I'm low, let slowly paint the town Go, grab a dollah And follah me! When they ask for the roof Let me answer "Hundred Proof!" Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown Drown, drown, drown, drown, drown Let me drown in females foreign Let me dangle from a limb Ooooh... Teach me how to put my oar in But don't you dare to teach me How to swim! KATE ENSEMBLE Let me drown, this evening, let me drown Let me drown! If you smile For a while I'll wear the frown Go slap that happy face BURRS Let me go Set me free I wanna run now Let me at that S.O.B. KATE No! BURRS & ENSEMBLE Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown Let me drown, till daybreak Let me drown BURRS ENSEMBLE I'm the guy Guy! Who will buy Her wedding gown Here comes the bride BURRS & MEN Till the dawn Breaks the spell All the world Can got to hell KATE & WOMEN Now, where is my bible? Strap me in Let me ride Till I'm on the other side Take me to the other side Let me rock Let me roll Let me roll BURRS Let me sacrifice my soul BURRS, KATE & ENSEMBLE Let me drown Let me drown!
