lyrics

Break your bread in pieces drink your wine,
Let the ocean wave a word divine,
Far too often we're stuck inside,
The water's still in our blood, sun's in our eyes.

Oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo

Dusty mirrors and trinity fires,
Spoke in truth of our hearts' desires
Johnny said we'll meet up at sundown,
We've got the world to build, man and we're starting now.

Oo oo oo oo
And it keeps me swimming,
Like a man overboard.

There's a different way of looking out at the city from here,
How much we've grown since Cable Head last year,
A big meech on the beach with a dreamy Buddha statue,
You're just in time to see the jungle ant cowboy looking at you.

Oo oo oo oo
And it keeps me swimming,
Like a man overboard.
And it keeps me swimming.

And for all those who couldn't be here,
We'll search ourselves through and through to be clear,
I showed up late so I just dipped my toes in the water,
Now I'm able to swim like a man overboard.

And it keeps me swimming,
Like a man overboard.
