I got away from the Sing-a-Long Sunday for a while because 2 of the other blogs I follow started doing a similar posting and i realized it wasn't as creative as I originally thought. And, people mostly want to hear their own kind of music, not what someone else likes. But then I was out with N Friday night and he put this song on the jukebox. It was pretty cool to hear Widespread Panic on the radio at a bar. It was one of those touch screen juke boxes, so N was able to find just about any song he wanted, and this is one. This song is one of my all-time favorites. To me it's about friendship and love. It was written by Jerry Joseph and performed by WSP. Check it...
You can hear, hear it comin'
Like a train out of control
Surely leaves you wonderin'
Exactly where your ticket goes
You scream to the conductor
But he's been deaf for twenty years
Hear the other people laughin'
As he grinds through every gear
Go to grab your nerve, you find that it is missin'
Seems you've lost your faith in everyone you know
And 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, and you're movin' way too slow
Time will surely mold you
Into something you don't like
Get you 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'
We must grab each others collar, we must rise out of the water
And you know as well as I do it's no fun to die alone
Climb to safety
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
Feel the water rising. Let me be your ladder
Climb to safety
I promise you'll be dry and never be alone
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
You stick your fingers in your ears 'til they explode
I guess the business will be goin' on as usual
We 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
Climb to safety
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
Feel the water rising.
Let me be your ladder
Climb to safety I promise you'll be dry and never be alone
Climb to safety, safety
Climb to safety, safety
Climb to safety, safety
Climb to safety, safety
