Lyrics Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does

I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time

In that sweet cool darkness

Asleep and constantly floating away

I wish that I could break and bend like the world does

I'd fall to the bottom and I'd chase all my dreams away

And I'd let you crush me

My dreams would be constantly wilting away

I wish that I could swim and sleep like a shark does

I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time

In that sweet cool darkness

Asleep and constantly floating away
