What I was thinking of was a real undertow. What would an undertow say if it were going to sing a song? Which seems rather simplistic or childlike, but it was a fascinating idea to me. […] The lines I like best are “I wanted to learn all the secrets from the edge of a knife, from the point of a need...
Undertow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teeth
We could see what was underneath
And you would be free then
[Verse 2]
Once I thought only tears could make us free
Salt wearing down to the bone
Like sand against the stone
Against the shoreline
[Chorus]
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you
Ooh
[Verse 3]
Wanted to learn all the secrets from the edge of a knife
From the point of a needle, from a diamond
From a bullet in flight
I would be free then
[Chorus]
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you
[Verse 4]
I wanted to see how it would feel to be that sleek
And instead I find this hunger's made me weak
I believe right now if I could I would swallow you whole
I would leave only bones and teeth
We could see what was underneath
And you would be free then
Free then
[Chorus]
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you
I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you
Ooh
