The Current

Going down, going down
Down where my breath is the only sound
Going down

Going down, going down,
Don't look for me now--I'm not around
All day long, I'm underground

And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me far away
Let the current carry me away

Current flows, but I don't know where it goes
I don't care, I just get it there
Took this job 'cause I needed one
Now it's seven years since I've seen the sun
All day long, I'm underground

And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me far away
Let the current carry me away

And I've been thinking about the future
I hope some day I'll get away
But the current keeps bringing me back around
Seems the only place for me is underground
So tomorrow, when the sun comes up, I'll be going down
Going down. Going down.
