Lyrics The Tide - Greg Dulli

The Tide

Control, you whisper that
You know everything I got
I’m a wreck when I find out
What this is for
See the writing on the stair
Immolation in the air
Without a trace, and I
So softly disappear
Like the wind
I got things to do before I fade away
You can steal me blind
But you will never find
You will never find
And I told you how to surf that tidal wave
You know many ways to buy another day
But a simple lie can play out like a curse
Never better but forever at your worst
Let us go deep now
Should your will define you, let’s all take a bow
You can steal me blind
But you will never find
You will never
Somebody’s in the way
Somebody’s in the wave
Like you right here by my side
And millionaires
Read your scripture on the stairs
You’re an island
You’re an island
And a simple lie can play out like a curse
Never better, but forever at your worst
And I never got to thank her for the ride
Each and every time
She’s so heavy
Heavy (Heavy)
Heavy (Heavy)
Heavy (Heavy)
Heavy
