My brother swims against the tide

Naked in the water he has nowhere to hide

The results of his blood test were written in the sand

But it's not the drugs that make the man



It'll all be washed away eventually

Even the memories walking through your dreams

It'll all be forgotten eventually

Even the most embarrassing scenes



He got it on prescription

And he fits the description

Of a man whos blood has turned to dreams

Found floating facedown tangled up in seaweed

Making bait on which the fishes can feed



It'll all be washed away eventually

Even the memories walking through your dreams

It'll all be forgotten eventually

Even the most incriminating scenes



My brother swims against the tide

Naked in the water he has nothing to hide

My brother floats along with the tide

Carried away to somewhere out of sight



It'll all be washed away eventually

Even the memories walking through your dreams

It'll all be forgotten eventually

By just about everyone except for me
