Widespread Panic Lyrics

Album: 'Til the Medicine Takes

Climb to Safety Lyrics

You can hear it comin'

Like a train out of control

Surely leaves you wonderin'

Exactly where your ticket goes

You scream to the conductor

But he's been deaf for twenty years

Hear the other people laughin'

As he grinds through every gear


Go to grab your nerve, you find that it is missin'

Seems you've lost your faith in everyone you know

And I surely hope that you don't plan on winnin'

Better start payin' more attention to the ones that throw you clear

You are seconds from the impact, and you're movin' way too slow


Time will surely mold you

Into something you don't like

Get you runnin' like a rabbit

Stick your finger in the dike


Look around your room you find the paint is peelin'

Your reflective skin is fallin' off your bones

Well, I must admit I know just how you're feelin'

We must grab each others collar, we must rise out of the water

And you know as well as I do it's no fun to die alone


Climb to safety

After all that I've been through, you're the only one that matters

Climb to safety

You never left me in the dark here on my own

Climb to safety

Feel the water rising. Let me be your ladder

Climb to safety

I promise you'll be dry and never be alone


Love has always scared you

Like the things under your bed

Baby, we can walk on water

Like some junkies swore they did


You call me on the phone, you say that it is crucial

You stick your fingers in your ears 'til they explode

I guess the business will be goin' on as usual

We must grab each others collar, we must rise out of the water

'Cause you know as well as I do that it's no fun to die alone


Climb to safety

After all that I've been through, you're the only one that matters

Climb to safety

You never left me in the dark here on my own

Climb to safety

Feel the water rising. Let me be your ladder

Climb to safety

I promise you'll be dry and never be alone


Climb to safety, safety

Climb to safety, safety

Climb to safety, safety

Climb to safety, safety
