“Drowning in a Daydream” is COC’s third of three songs to appear on the US Rock Chart, reaching #27 in late 1996. And it was nominated for a Grammy the following year. The band has rarely played it live because it was the product of their record label telling them to go write a radio hit or their al...
There's a question mark in the place of a spark
That used to be an answer
Aiming straight for the heart he missed his mark and
The arrow turned to cancer, no no
Now you get so high that you still can't fly
And you wonder if you're really where you want to be
'Cause the sun don't rise if you close your eyes
And you're sinking low, I thought you'd like to know
Like me, you're drowning in a daydream
[Chorus]
There's a man who watches over me
There's a man where I used to be
Mr. Tambourine play one more song for me
'Cause I gotta leave, I lost what I believed
There's a snake up in the tree
Only hearing what he sees
But the years go by and you don't know why
Did you take it all for granted?
Now you get so low that you can't say no
And you wonder if you're really where you want to be
'Cause the tide does rise and it's no surprise
That it washes you away, now you're far from home
Like me, you're drowning in a daydream
[Chorus]
There's a man who watches over me
There's a man where I used to be
Mr. Tambourine play one more song for me
'Cause I gotta leave, I lost what I believed
[Chorus]
There's a man who watches over me
There's a man where I used to be
Mr. Tambourine play one more song for me
'Cause I gotta leave, I lost what I believed
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Daddy's gonna miss you when you're gone
Heavys gonna kick you when you're wrong
Daddy's gonna miss you when you're gone
You got the blues and it makes you wonder
Heavys gonna kick you when you're wrong
You got the blues and it makes you wonder

In 2016, drummer Reed Mullin explained to Rock Revolt the reason band doesn’t play this song live is it’s the product of when their record label told them to write a radio hit:
…when we turned the Wiseblood record in at Columbia … we were like, “Hey, here’s our new album.” They were betting on us h...
