The Drowners Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well it's for my brother
Well, he writes the line
Wrote right down my spine
It says, "Oh, do you believe in love there?"
[Chorus]
So slow down
Slow down
You're taking me over
And so we drown
Sir, we drown
Stop taking me over
[Verse 2]
Won't someone give me some fun?
As the skin flies all around us
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners
[Chorus]
So slow down
Slow down
You're taking me over
And so we drown
Sir, we drown
Stop taking me over
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Slow down
Slow down
You're taking me over
And so we drown
Sir, we drown
Stop taking me over, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
You're taking me over, oh-oh-oh-oh
You're taking me over, oh-oh-oh-oh
You're taking me over, oh-oh-oh-oh
You're taking me over, oh-oh-oh-oh
Stop taking me over, oh
You're taking me over, oh
You're taking me over, oh
You're taking me over, oh
