Sinking Feeling - Róisín Murphy

Deep in quicksand

You dive in at the shallow end

You break your neck and

You’re never ever gonna get up again

The glass house that you lived in

Is deep in the quickening

Angels might call by

But fools they rush in

Bring some peace to your mind

For today is a new day

Here in my hand

Time is just sand

Fine lines of love and hate

There on your face

But I look at this way

In the next seven days

In the next

It might just change

How can I write the story that

Went and wrote itself down on paperback

Called «The Fountain of Know Thyself»

It’s a lonely book still upon the shelf

It’ll be all smiles

And we’ll rise and ride

On the waves

Of a sinking feeling

Bring some peace to your mind

For today is a new day

Happy people don’t give into

Happy people don’t give into

That sinking feeling

It’ll be all smiles

And we’ll rise and we’ll sail

It’ll be all smiles

And we’ll rise and we’ll sail

On the waves

It’ll be all smiles

And we’ll rise and we’ll sail

On the waves

Of a sinking feeling
