Swimming Lesson - Eels

If the world’s a rotten place

You better just forget it

In the crowd just another face

Gonna make 'em regret it

Take a heart and squash it hard

Like a little grape

Push it down 'tween boot and ground

'Til it loses shape

And if you feel like you can’t swim

When you’re thrown in the lake

Just watch the bugs

Passin' by you as you

Slip under their wake

Again

If you let your feelings shine

You better cover 'em up, kid

Ain’t no sense in wastin' time

Dream behind your eyelids

Take a heart and squash it hard

Like a little bug

Swig it down and spit it out

And kick it under the rug

And if you feel like you can’t swim

When you’re thrown in the lake

Just watch the bugs

Passin' by you as you

Slip under their wake

Again

Take a heart and squash it hard

Like a little ant

Scrape it off the sole of your shoe

On the welcome mat

And if you feel like you can’t swim

When you’re thrown in the lake

Just watch the bugs

Passin' by you as you

Slip under their wake

Again

Ooh

Ooh
