Undertow Lyrics

Lyric discussion by one who waits 

Cover art for Undertow lyrics by Ugly Kid Joe

Probably one of the best tracks off Motel California. Whit told me in person..It went something like:

"wagon rolls" - that's his boozing habit. "Another bottle" - beer Whit would drink right thru the night, right up until the sun rose the next day..then..

...I think the rest of the song is about the band itself...UKJ were flavour of the month, an then they weren't. "where now don't those flavours go"...

An Undertow is a current that pulls both ways under the sea, thus making it very hard to get anywhere. i.e. the music biz was very hard to UKJ after their mega hit - Everything Bout You.

"We got pulled out by the undertow That's the way the wind blows"

Accepting they [the band] were overlooked..and left out in the rain [after a sunny period] also known as the limelight.
