Theme From the Bottom
I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top
I live upon morsels you happen to drop
And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup
If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up
On the way upwards, the colors come back
But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black
The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong
And the night seems to go on incredibly long
So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,
Don't you see anything you'd like to try?
Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth
Jumbled events that have less than no worth
Time in the forest to dig under rocks
Or float in the ocean asleep in a box
Or sink just below all the churning and froth
And swim to the light source or fly like a moth
So toss away stuff you don't need in the end
But keep what's important and know who's your friend
So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,
Don't you see anything that you'd like to try?
If I'm swimming by
From the bottom, from the top ( x 8 )

You heard about Suzi from Baton Rouge?
You have? Well
let me tell you about her!
Yeh ! Well little Suzi was raised at the Baton Rouge
Suzi was fooled
she was born to lose
She could be seen keeping company wherever she went
With those long haired blue eyed southern gents.
She said I may be too young to fall in love
But I'm still hangin' round
She said I may be too young to fall in love
But I'm still hangin' round.
Just waiting for you
I'm just awaitin' for you
She said I'm waitin' for you
you
I'm just waitin' for you.
Well<
