Undertow (1991.09.05) Lyrics
Two days and I've been baptized in your voice
It speaks from deep beneath the endless water
It's twice as clear as heaven
Twice as loud as reason
Cold and deep like silt on a riverbed
Just as never ending,
The current smiles below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons,
all while swallowing,
surrounds and drowns and wash me away.
Shut up. Shut up now.
Want you to be me
Just enough to get inside me
Not enough to kill my mind,
Just enough to be on my side now.
Three days and I've been knocked out by your voice.
It screams from deep, beneath the raging water
It's half as clear as heaven, half as clear as reason
Cold and deep like silt on a river bed
Just as un-disturbing,
The current smiles below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons,
all while swallowing,
surrounds and drowns and wash me away.
Shut up, shut up now.
Want you to be on my side
She's the one who gets in my face for
She's the one who wanted me
Not enough to get on my side
Until you say, drown
She didn't mind
Turn the other way
Euphoria,
Euphoria,
Euphoria,
Euphoria
Right back down,
I'm in the Undertow,
I'm helpless and I'm
Way down beneath the Undertow
There's nothing that I can say,
I'm in your Undertow
There doesn't seem no other way,
Out of your Undertow
Euphoria
It speaks from deep beneath the endless water
It's twice as clear as heaven
Twice as loud as reason
Cold and deep like silt on a riverbed
Just as never ending,
The current smiles below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons,
all while swallowing,
surrounds and drowns and wash me away.
Just enough to get inside me
Not enough to kill my mind,
Just enough to be on my side now.
It screams from deep, beneath the raging water
It's half as clear as heaven, half as clear as reason
Cold and deep like silt on a river bed
Just as un-disturbing,
The current smiles below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons,
all while swallowing,
surrounds and drowns and wash me away.
She's the one who gets in my face for
She's the one who wanted me
Not enough to get on my side
She didn't mind
Turn the other way
Euphoria,
Euphoria,
Euphoria
I'm in the Undertow,
I'm helpless and I'm
Way down beneath the Undertow
There's nothing that I can say,
I'm in your Undertow
There doesn't seem no other way,
Out of your Undertow

If you notice, Tool's "official" lyrics say "These are NOT the lyrics you will hear and every time we do the song it will be different". So posting random live performance lyrics is pretty retarded.
