I'm with JohnB on this one.
Wallow as a noun:
a puddle where animals go to wallow
an indolent or clumsy rolling about
roary motion of an object around its own axis wallow a hole
a puddle of mud
As verbs:
devote oneself entirely to something; indulge in to an immoderate
degree, usally with pleasure
roll around, "Pigs were wallowing in the mud"
rise up as in waves
be ecstatic with joy
delight greatly in
Martin - from the Visual Thesaurus:wallow




Alice in Chains song Sea of Sorrow has the following lyrics in the chorus:

"I live tomorrow, you'll not follow
As you wallow in a sea of sorrow"
