Drifting down the Snohomish River
I want to step out, but don't want to shiver
I don't really know where this blue current flows
I don't care, I'll go where the water takes me
As I float by the big shining city
I want to know why they look with such pity
They build to the sky, just to fall and then retry
I don't care, I'm not scared, I'm only watching.
I once had the strength to fight off the current
Go my own way, complete and coherent
But I heard a sound, got lost and then turned around
Unprepared, I got scared, jumped in the Puget Sound
