Damien Jurado Now You're Swimming
Now you're swimming
It don't even feel right
You hate your body
You know it shows
They're acting crazy
Out there in the deep end
They're shouting curse words
And acting crazy
You got a cop for a dad
And you don't want any more
Off-duty advice now
You got a saint in the eye
And you don't want any more
Guilt-tripping advice now
They'll figure it out
And they can keep you in the dark
Afternoon is your own time
Alone time
We'll figure it out
And then we'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is the wrong time
And now you're painting
And you don't even feel right
You hate the colors
And you know they'll bleed
They're acting foolish
Out there in the darkroom
Rolling quarters, going wild
You got a cop in your face
And you don't want any more
Time left alone with him
You got a saint for a mom
And you know all the ways out
The back door and on out
They'll figure it out
And then they'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is your own time
Alone time
We'll figure it out
And then we'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is the wrong time
