歌曲歌詞
I lost my job on Friday I went drinking to forget
My luck it had been down so long but
I could change it yet
Sat down and strted talking with some guy
Sitting there
He bought me drinks all afternoon until
I didn't care
He said was I in need of work some
Money could be found
I said is it above the law he said it's
Underground
I said I need the paycheck now I got
Debts here and there
He smiled and asked if I could drive
And I said anywhere
Anywhere
In this weekend of ordinary dreams
Everything was not just as it seems
Take a look around at the faces in the crowd
And you'll see where I've been
We met up on the saturday I thought it was us two
But I had not asked quetions not knowing what to do
Twelve of them were in the van
Thirteen including me
Twelve pairs of eyes were staring
Back at me suspiciously
And so I just sat down and drove
Took them to some track
And drove past the security guard
While they hid in the back
They made me stop and got out there and
I heard a couple of shots
I hoped they were in self defense
But I knew that they were not
They were not
Not in this weekend of ordinary dreams
Everything was not just as it seems
Take a look around at the faces in the crowd
You'll see where I've been oyy
I drummed my fingers on the wheel and
Waited for the boys
Had a smoke I had a few I got very paranoid
And still they hadn't come back there so
I just drove away
Deciding to play safe and get my share another day
On sunday he came round my place I
Asked him where theyd been
He said theyd left another way and only I was seen
He said that we should cash the van and
Did I want my share
I didn't like the way theyd left
By now I didn't care
Didn't care
For this weekend of ordinary dreams
Everything is not as it seems
Take a look around at the faces in the crowd
Could I guess
I was just drinking just drinking
Drove me to a back room with a
Single swinging light
Someone said the fish are starving
Ain't it time they had a bite
And I felt sick and stupid and
Damned my own brown hair
Forgetting that the price you pay
Must far exceed the share
Someone pulled a knife
Stabbed me in the back
They tied my hands and bound my
Feet and threw me in a sack
They took me to a lakeside with
They threw my body in
I could hear them laughing they
Said you can sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim swim
Sink or swim
Sink
So hear you desperate women and
Hear you desperate men
Don't take your life for granted please
Don't live your life in vain
But if you think that you can cahnge it
Hope you know you ant go back
Just go down to the lake
Watch me floating in a sack
In this sack
Watch me floating in a sack sack
Watch me floating in a sack sack
Watch me floating in a sack
