Don't Go Swimming At Innsmouth

from Red Wolf Mist by Aaron Smith

/

lyrics

Don’t go swimming at Innsmouth
You’ll sink into a horror you won’t believe
Don’t go swimming at Innsmouth
You’ll soon be praying for a watery grave
Don’t go swimming at Innsmouth
You may find your molecules rearranged

The faded postcard says, wish you were here
But you can’t help feeling something’s fishy here
This rundown harbor town is a monument to sadness
You’re walking through a minefield of eventual madness

When you hear the seductive song of the sea
You won’t be you and I won’t be me
When you answer your personal siren’s call
Dive in and down, down, down you’ll fall

This isn’t what you think, no seaside vacation
The face in the mirror looks like the local population
Run away, don’t walk toward that sweet sea breeze
If you’re the praying kind, best get down on your knees

Don’t go swimming at Innsmouth
You’ll sink into a horror you won’t believe
Don’t go swimming at Innsmouth
You’ll soon be praying for a watery grave
Don’t go swimming at Innsmouth
You may find your molecules rearranged
