The ocean doesn't want me today
|
But I'll be back tomorrow to play
|
And the stranglers will take me
|
Down deep in their brine
|
The mischievous braingels
|
Down into the endless blue wine
|
I'll open my head and let out
|
All of my time
|
I'd love to go drowning
|
And to stay and to stay
|
But the ocean doesn't want me today
|
I'll go in up to here
|
It can't possibly hurt
|
All they will find is my beer
|
And my shirt
|
A rip tide is raging
|
And the life guard is away
|
But the ocean doesn't want me today
|
The ocean doesn't want me today
|
