[Verse 1]
A sunny pool in a sunny nation
It got heated up from Penetrating Radiation
But I jump right in, I can’t see
Can’t see what’s in front of me
What’s right there; my eyes are closed
And I don’t know, what I don’t know
Is in front of me
What’s in front of me?
Still I don’t know, where I go
Deep, deep down I fathom
[Chorus]
I’m not drowning, I’m not drowning
I’m being held underwater
I’m not drowning
I am being held, but I will breathe!
[Verse 2]
A funny fool on a sunny day
It’s a comedy show, but not funny, nay
So I jumped right in, I couldn’t see
Couldn’t see right in front of me
What was right there, in front of my nose
He’s fooling me with all the things I don’t know
Are in front of me
What’s in front of me?
Things I’m not supposed to know
Shove me fathoms down
[Chorus]
I’m not drowning, I’m not drowning
I’m being held underwater
I’m not drowning
I am being held, but I will breathe
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Something’s wrong, something’s wrong
I’m not drowning, so what’s going on?
I know something’s wrong, been here too long
I am being held underwater
I will breathe!
