Alternate title: "Battery Dearborn"

lyrics

"Drowning"

dearborn is the place
we guard our shores
our mortars rule the waves

with oil fields under sands
we fossilize skies
our dreams drive model t’s

and it all seemed so easy
by the numbers
when we walked the beach

and the sun can still be shining
while you're drowning
next to me

when you look around
you see things
that aren't there anymore

the kisses at your party
while we're running
from our memories, please

and it all seemed so easy
by the numbers
when we walked the beach

and the stars can still grant wishes
while you’re drowning
next to me

you’re drowning next to me

when i first saw you
i was tongue-tied
but now i'm needing
your life line

when you look around
you see things
that aren't there anymore
