All the drunks under the freeway Are waiting for some flood to come around And its so hard to keep my head above water Sometimes I just wanna let go and drown I live down where the river trash Washes up all the way to street And every once in a while I find something worth keeping But I still ain't never found my feet And I never paid much mind to storm warnings I say what's coming is coming all the same And its a perk of living under the freeway That you never get caught in the rain My whole life they've been talking about the big one But I never thought I'd see the day When a tidal wave worthy of biblical remembrance Would come to wash this whole city away And you can try to hold your own against it You can stack them sandbags ten-high I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft Watching those barricades drift on by They don't hide hope under that freeway Just one last stop on your way underground And, no, I don't mind the thought of dying with the city If we've all gotta drown 'Cause there's a peace that comes with drowning I think I read that once anyway A rush of a thing called dimethyltryptamine That comes right as your lungs give way And you can try to hold your own against it You can stack them sandbags ten-high I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft Watching those barricades drift on by You can try to hold your own against it You can stack them sandbags ten-high I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft Watching those barricades drift on by
I wear my aviator shades Navigate into the grocery maze I'm gonna murder my weekend in a haze I wear my aviator shades Sarah, can't you hear me fadin? (fadin) You know I stay like this for days (fadin) Sarah, can't you hear my voice from far away Behind my aviator shades And I put my clothes on in the dark It takes a little while All my fashion statements missed the mark By a thousand miles Was there something I was supposed to do today? O, god, I can't recall Don't leave me wandering through the fray Lest I lose my grace and fall Sarah, can't you hear me fadin? (fadin) You know I stay like this for days (fadin) Sarah, can't you hear my voice from far away Behind my aviator shades And who puts these hurdles in my way? (Navigate into the grocery maze) Spreading me so thin over every day (Gonna murder my weekend in a haze) And I can't be held to the things I say (I wear my aviator shades) Behind my aviator shades
This is the best song (this one, and especially the original) that people will never hear. I wish you guys so much success making it. This song is fantastic!
While I miss the layers of the Hammond and the violin, saw the new lineup at New Albany Brewing Co before Delta reared its ugly head. Great band, and I had a very nice conversation with Shadwick. Hope the 2020s bring much success.
Poor guys, never had enough money for Madonna..but they love her songs, and probably made a little ...money...singing them...liv-ing in a le-ach filled world...(leach filled wor--horld!!)
You and I both have to admit, as a personal fanatic to indie rock music, Shadwick Wilde(what a kickass name to add lol")is hands down one of my personal favorite SONGWRITERS in present days.....From "their dark robes" to "the Path......."The Flood Song"(one of my favs by Q.H.), phenomenally talented artistry all around.......hope ya'll guys come to Atlanta or Athens,Ga.....so I can bring and introduce a ton of peeps to your music, much needed! Keep it up guys.......love the muse!
