Ænima
[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 1]
Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
Certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from
This bullshit three ring circus sideshow

[Chorus]
Of freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time, any fucking day
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay

[Verse 2]
Fret for your figure and fret for your latte and
Frеt for your hairdo and fret for your [headshot?] and
Fret for your Prozac and frеt for your pilot and
Fret for your cable and fret for your car
It's a bullshit three ring circus sideshow

[Chorus]
Of freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time, any fucking day
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay!

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
[?x4]
Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Shit, fucking shit, fucking shit, fucking shit
Fucking shit, fucking shit, fucking shit, fucking-
One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
Swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to-
[Time to hit tidally, now?]
Mom's gonna flush it all away-away

[Verse 4]
Swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn-
Fuck retro anything, fuck your tattoos
Fuck all you junkies, and fuck your short memory
Swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to-
Fuck L. Ron Hubbard, and fuck all his clones
Fuck all these gun-toting hip gangster wannabes
Swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to
Yeah, fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas
Fuck these dysfunctional insecure actresses
Swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim

[Verse 5]
I watch it go right in, down
Wanna wash it all away, now
Wanna watch it go right down
Wanna watch it go away
Wanna see it go right in
Wanna wash it all away
Wanna wash it all away
Wanna wash it all a-way

[Verse 6]
Can it die again?
Can- in my head?
Time to make me start again, time and time
Yeah now, yeah-

[Instrumental outro]

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey
