Grocery store sushi
You're chopping ketamine with a motel room key
Like a razor on a waterslide
Surgeon seein' the scalpel sewn inside

You get past the cold spot in the lake
The easy things in life keep getting harder every day

Potpourri dead smell of a stagnant creek
'Cause you ran 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 evеry day

A street juggalo sang us a sweet song on the porch
When we livеd 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 23
Swimming through
'Cause to you, it's just like
Swimming through a cold spot in the lake
And the sweetest parts of life keep getting bitter every day
