Climb To Safety Lyrics - Widespread Panic

You can 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
