Not Swimming Ground

Six straight rolls in a blind man's game

Half a dozen snake eyes all the time

Holler to an echo

Roll those hollow dice

To the other side

Another time



Got lost on the water

Wound up on the sand

Gaze out through the darkness

With the light in the palm of your hand

To the other side

Another time



I got to say this has nothing to do with the other side

I'll bet they wish they were 'round the corner on some crazy ride



Every time the walls tumble down

Build up new ones on the changing ground

Works about as well as water in your hand

The new ones are always the tallest ones around

The other side

Another time



You lay out in the water

The light in the palm of your hand

Goes moving through the water

Like the motion of a far off land

To the other side

Another time



Some wins and losses

They hear what they like

Rubbin' toes and burnin' trail

Headin' down the pike

To the other side

Another time
