drown

Tekst en muziek: Harry Niehof

he was a boy from the country, strong and fine
knew the horizon as a sharp straight line
but the chicks in the pen didn't turn him on
so he said to his daddy: i'm moving on
his dad said: son, please don't go
me and your mama we love you so
but he packed his bag, went out into the night
to drown in the swamp of the city lights

sirens:
come on and stay with us, don't be blue
we will show you all the things we can do
we will slng for you, la la la la la la

chorus:
let's do what weirdos and winos do
let's be weirdos and winos too
go to heaven in this dive
or drown, little boy

he had gin, he had beer and he had nothing to lose
high heels and laughter took away his blues
he started dancing across the floor baby, don't you stop,
give me plenty more

sirens:
chorus:

morning came and he wished he was dead
an ox was doing dancing steps inside his head
as he came stumbling through the morning rain
he sighed with a grin: i'll be back again

chorus:
