Sufferin' Saltwater
Isn't that common songwriting trope of drowning in one's own tears - cf. Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds' "Don't Pull Your Love," Ray Charles' "Drown in My Own Tears," Dolly Parton's "Endless Stream of Tears," Bon Jovi's "I'll Be There for You," Otis Redding's "That's How Strong My Love Is," Eric Clapton's "River of Tears," the Bee Gees' "Tragedy" - actually kind of gross?

It's better than the physiological alternative offered in the spoken prelude to Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain."
And I think it's better than drowning in any other effluvia your body might produce.
I think you're selling urine a little short.
(If only I could go just one day without using that phrase.)
