The Dirty Sea |
Nothing comes over me |
Nothing like inspiration |
Not even on the seaside |
No fantasies to ration |
The swell looks mighty slim |
And the water level’s down |
The dirty sea adds to the junk I’m in |
Until the sun creeps up the sound |
And then I’m outright broken |
Disgusted and outspoken |
My drinks are watered down and sick |
Like my old man’s tired convictions |
Nobody has a hold on me |
At dusk it gets mighty dim |
And the lights fire up the beach |
I don’t feel much like a swim |
'Cause I’m afraid of the dirty sea |
The swell looks mighty slim |
And the water level’s, they’re all down |
The dirty sea adds to the junk I’m in |
Until the sun creeps up the sound |
I wake myself hastily |
In time for the break of day |
The air smells sweet by the sea |
It stinks of my old memories |
I try to grab hold of things |
Or anything I can reach |
But I’m only swatting at air |
Staring blankly at the dirty sea |
