Swim (track 02 from the Ray of Light LP by Madonna )
Put your head on my shoulder, things can’t get any worse
The night is getting colder
Sometimes life feels like it’s a curse
I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor
Children killing children
Students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
Churches burn their preachers
We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor
Let the water wash over you—wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor
So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sin
And crash to the other shore
I can’t carry these sins on my back
I don’t want to carry any more
I’m going to careen this train off the tracks
I’m going to swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor
We can’t carry these sins on our backs
We don’t want to carry any more
We’re going to careen this train off the tracks
We’re going to swim to the ocean floor
Crash to the other shore or swim to the ocean floor
