Sinking And Swimming On Long Island

This place is dragging me down A hamster wheel, I thought I'd be done by now Now that all my allies are gone I realize advancing could hold you back My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside But it's high tide and they get washed away with time Till everything's gone, till everything's gone All's fine along the Long Island Sound But fine's polite I'd rather things more profound I've become a rock these days and I swim like one Alone again, barely surviving the tidal wave My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside But it's high tide and they get washed away with time Till everything's gone, till everything's gone I swear, damn it all to hell, damn it all to hell I think I finally found the way to go to heaven Without dying, so I'm on my way The harder you work, the harder you fall You wake up one day with nothing at all My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside But it's high tide and they get washed away with time Till everything's gone, till everything's gone Till everything's gone, till everything's gone I swear, damn it all to hell
