Good Ideas

I'm up to my waist in muddy water
 Sinking deeper every hour.
 I walk into the swamp
 'Cause it was gettin' hotter
 Seemed like a good idea at the time.
 My skin is dry from the desert air,
 My lips too stiff and drained.
 I wandered alone 'cause you weren't there
 Seemed like a good idea at the time.
 I can't see in this dark of night
 My eyes are failing me.
 You were brighter than the neon fire
 So I turned off all of the lights
 Seemed like a good idea at the time
 I'm trying to warn you but I don't have a voice
 'Cause I gave it to the man.
 I refused to make a choice
 Seemed like a good idea at the time.
 (Instrumental)
 My hands are tied to the rock of Gibraltar
 My mind is given away.
 I threw myself upon your altar
 Seemed like a good idea at the time.
 My time is here I can hear the knocking
 Falling faster every second.
 I jumped off a cliff 'cause I was bored of walking
 Seemed like a good idea at the time.
