Grocery store sushi You're chopping ketamine with a motel room key Like a razor on a water slide Surgeon seein' the scalpel sewn inside You get past The cold spot in the lake The easy things in life keep getting harder everyday Potpourri dead smell of a stagnant creek 'Cause you crashed your car into a cherry blossom tree Rolled the tires down a muddy hill You just keep on swimming through until You get past The cold spot in the lake Abundant things in life keep getting fewer everyday A street juggalo sang us a sweet song on the porch When we lived downtown and whoever was near would come on up Next week we saw her on a poster stapled to a pole She killed a guy and left the body laying by the road Between broadways and the ramp to twenty-three Swimmin though 'Cause to you it's just like Swimming through a cold spot in the lake The sweetest parts of life keep getting bitter everyday
