Boredom sows the seed that brings a grown man to his knees
Treachery and lies, a wolf comes in a sheep’s disguise
Ever harder to tell, fact from fiction, truth from tale
Never judge a book by its cover
Unless that cover is handing you cash
Join me in the ocean we’ll be free
We’ll leave the land and form a band of vagrants in the sea
Join me in the ocean can’t you see
We’ll ride the waves until our bodies sink into the sea
Climb your way to the top just in time to see the bottom drop
Give your life for gold, then realize it was your youth you sold
There’s something wrong here, but no time to fix it
There’s something wrong here, I need a new prescription
Maybe I’ll self medicate instead
Join me in the ocean we’ll be free
We’ll leave the land and form a band of vagrants in the sea
Join me in the ocean can’t you see
We’ll ride the waves until our bodies sink into the sea
