Lyrics Wipeout - New Model Army

Wipeout

This is where we go to — to the blue of the ocean
On the 30 westbound to the diamond water
Lost out in the white waves — salt purification
Bright eyes and breathless — this is how Love feels
Wash away the black stuff, wash away the road-dirt
In the thrill of the wipe-out, feel it pulling you under
This is where it saved your life in the days of the new beginning
All the sweet redemption lines that you wrote and told a thousand times
This is where we go to — to the blue of the ocean
On the 30 westbound to the diamond water
On the back-lanes down to the sea we pulled to the side of the road
Danced together in the headlights beam to the songs on the radio
Cheek to cheek.
..
We’re up on the cliff tops as the dusk falls and the wind drops down,
The last of the light fading in the sky out to the west;
And far out to sea, the water glows iridescent, perfect, like a promise
Of warm water in the shallows, cold water out in the deep,
Splashing on my face and rolling over, over, over.
..
