Sinking Feeling Lyrics by Róisín Murphy

Ruby Blue

2005

[Verse 1]
Deep in quicksand
You dive in at the shallow end
You break your neck and
You're never ever gonna get up again
The glass house that you lived in
Is deep in the quickening
Angels might call by
But the fools, they rush in

[Chorus]
Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day

[Verse 2]
Here in my hand
Time is just sand
Fine lines of love and hate
There on your face
But I look at this way
In the next seven days
In the next
It might just change

[Verse 3]
How can I write the story that
Went and wrote itself down on paperback
Called "The Fountain of Know Thyself"
It's a lonely book still upon the shelf

[Pre-Chorus]
It'll be all smiles
And we'll rise and ride
On the waves
Of a sinking feeling

[Chorus]
Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day

[Bridge]
Happy people don't give into
Happy people don't give into
That sinking feeling

[Outro]
It'll be all smiles
And we'll rise and we'll sail
It'll be all smiles
And we'll rise and we'll sail
On the waves
It'll be all smiles
And we'll rise and we'll sail
On the waves of a sinking feeling
