The Swimmer
Frank Black & The Catholics

In the wake of his chariot

You swam toward the latitudes

Leaving for happier times

Florida far behind


Trying your best you were

Ignoring the rescuers

You'd gone so very long

You were so very strong


The scene was so tragic

But that was the magic


Will you never drown?

Will you learn to use

Some forgotten part?

Some forgotten part?


Are you going down

Where the ballyhoos

And the tritons are? You were so incredible

Finding all the edible


Prize of the sea

Prize of the sea


In the wake of his chariot

You swam toward the latitudes

Leaving for happier times

Florida far behind


In division pelagic

You were choragic


Will you never drown?

Will you learn to use

Some forgotten part?

Some forgotten part?


Are you going down

Where the ballyhoos

And the tritons are?
