[Intro Instrumental] [Verse 1] Welcome to my home here under the docks, The sun is too bright, I just hate the dawn. Down here with the water and with the rocks, Everyone that I knew is dead and gone. I keep all my toys, I keep all my blocks, And peoples faces on walls I have drawn. My favorite thing that I keep in a box, A finger with the pretty ring still on. [Pre-Chorus] The waters drip, The waters flow. The sewers teach me, All I need to know. [Chorus] The empty guns, the bloody knives, The things that try to hide the lies. Bags of people washed up on beaches, Some are still whole, some in pieces. I keep them. I need them. Another friend comes floating near, Because Everything Flows Down Here. [Break] [Verse 2] Sometimes I get a visitor from the crowd, A man here cleaning, a lost little pup. Once a tied up man that was just too loud, So I hit him with a rock to shut him up. I pull off the hair, my little routine, A chewy snack, a little piece of meat. Why was he so mad? Why was he so mean? Another tasty treat for me to eat. [Pre-Chorus] The waters drip, The waters flow. The sewers teach me, All I need to know. [Chorus] The empty guns, the bloody knives, The things that try to hide the lies. Bags of people washed up on beaches, Some are still whole, some in pieces. I keep them. I need them. Another friend comes floating near, Because Everything Flows Down Here. [Break] [Bridge] Sometimes they come with their bright shiny lights, Then they take my toys, my little delights. It's not fair. I lead them away with a funny noise, I hear them scream as they find my pointy toys. Taught them good. I follow along the beaches sandy loam, I follow the waters to a brand new home. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I'll find more toys, I'll find more eyes, The things I watch from the other side. With more people that wash up on beaches, More sewers with pretty features. I find them. I keep them. I want them. I need them. More friends will come floating near, Because Everything Flows Down Here. [Outro Instrumental] [End]
