Tony Asch - Floatin'

Been kicking around on the same piece of ground 'bout thirty years
Folks I used to know don't come around any more
They made it out of here
I've got deadbolt locks on my crackerbox and no backyard
And the paycheck's just enough to keep you where you are

But I ain't sinking
Or swimming
Just floating in the river
Sittin so still, I can't even feel the water no more
And it ain't no heights of Zen
It's just me giving in
To a place that's neither drowning nor the shore

My old car still starts every morning, on the second try
It's been a year since I pulled its life support, but it didn't die
I've driven this route to work so much, it ought to drive hands free
I see the same folks every morning, but they never notice me

But I ain't sinking
Or swimming
Just floating in the river
Sittin so still, I can't even feel the water no more
And it ain't no heights of Zen
It's just me giving in
To a place that's neither drowning nor the shore

I've got no news to tell you, friend
It's just another day
I did the best at what I do and I was on my way
It's the morning route in exact reverse
As the sun goes down
Complete this circle one more time
Then back around

Still, I ain't sinking
Or swimming
Just floating in the river
Sittin so still, I can't even feel the water no more
And it ain't no heights of Zen
It's just me giving in
To a place that's neither drowning nor the shore

No, it ain't no heights of Zen
It's just me giving in
To a place that's neither drowning nor the shore
