lyrics

When I was a child I fell into a river and was carried out by the tide. Far out to sea.
I swam and I cried for the mother and the father I left behind, but now I see life is a mystery.

I fell asleep in the belly of a beast I had seen in the magazines; cut short like me.
One day they'll come burning down the pacific to take me home to my family.
'Til then life is a mystery

Don't keep it inside. let it out these feelings don't fade away with the passing of time. Bottled up; you'll be tearing yourself inside and out. I drink to you.

When I was a child I walked to the edge of a mountain to see if I could fly. I came so close.
When I was alive my mother caught me as I was falling backwards in time; in time to see life is a mystery.

Don't keep it inside. let it out these feelings don't fade away with the passing of time. Bottled up; you'll be tearing yourself inside and out. I drink to you.
