Widespread Panic - Climb to Safety lyrics

You can hear, hear it comin'
Like a train out of control
Surely leaves you wonderin'
Exactly where your ticket goes
Scream at the conductor
He's been deaf for twenty years
Hear the other people laughin'
As he grinds through every gear

You go to grab your nerve
You find that it's been missin'
Seems you've lost your faith
In everyone you know
Well I surely hope that you
Don't plan on winnin'
Better start payin' more attention to the
Ones that throw you clear
You are seconds from the impact
But you're movin' way too slow
You say time will surely mold you
Into something you don't like
Now you're runnin' like a rabbit
Stick your finger in the dike

Look around your room you find
The paint is peelin'
Your reflective skin is fallin'
Off your bones well, I must admit I know
Just how you're feelin'
Must grab each others collar
Must rise out of the water
'Cause you know as well as I do
That it's no fun to die alone

After all that I've been through
You're the only one that matters
Climb to safety
You never left me in the dark here on my own
Climb to safety i can feel the water rising
Let me be your ladder climb to safety
I promise you'll be dry and never be alone

You tell me love, has always scared you
Like the things under your bed
Baby, we can walk on water
Like some junkies swore they did

You call me on the phone
You say that it is crucial
Stick your fingers in your
Ears 'til they explode it's just business
And it rolls along as usual
Must grab each others collar
We must rise out of the water
'Cause you know as well as I do
That it's no fun to die alone

After all that I've been through
You're the only one that matters
Climb to safety
You never left me in the dark here on my own
Climb to safety i can feel the water rising
Let me be your ladder climb to safety
I promise you'll be dry and never be alone

After all that I've been through
You're the only one that matters
Climb to safety
You never left me in the dark here on my own
Climb to safety i can feel the water rising
Let me be your ladder climb to safety
I promise you'll be dry and never be alone

Yeah, climb to safety
Ooh, climb to safety, safety yeah
Climb to safety
