********************************************************************************

That guy Arron Carter from FAMOUSLAND died yesterday and it was in a bathtub. Velvet suggested I write a song called bathtubs and swimming pools about celebrities who were found dead in bathtubs and swimming pools.

LYRICS:

lyrics

Bathtubs and swimming pools
Resting place for famous fools
You can't handle all the fame
But inside we're all the same

Just some prescription drugs
From sycophant thugs
Pretend to be your body guard
But all they want is your fame

Fall into the passages of time
Fall into the depths of your mind

It's so bizarre how stars
Go back to the womb
Warm water bathtub and swimming pools
are their tomb, their tomb, their tomb
their tomb

Bathtubs and swimming pools
their tomb

Fall into the passages of time
Fall into the depths of your mind
It's so bizarre you're a superstar

It makes no sense how stars go back to the womb
Warm water bathtub and swimming pools
Are their tomb

You broke into the big time
With your number one hit
It was the shit
That song that film that show was all the rage

All the rage
All the rage
All the rage
All the rage

Fall into the passages of time
Fall into the depths of your mind
Fall into the passages of time
Fall into the depths of your mind

It's so bizarre how stars
Go back to the womb
Warm water bathtub and swimming pools
Are their tomb

It's so bizarre how stars
Go back to the womb
Warm water bathtub and swimming pools
are their tomb

Just some prescription drugs
From sycophant thugs
Inside your blood
Get into the bath
Go swimming in the pool

Bathtubs and swimming pools
Resting place for celebrity fools
You can handle all the fame
But inside we're all the same
