The Waves

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons(We're riding the wave)It might be getting older, but the night's still young(We're riding the wave)We never, never give up on the lost boy life(We're riding the wave)So here we are, escaping from the world outside(We're riding the wave)Oh, what would your mother say if she could seewhat we're doing now?Oh, what would your mother say if she could hearwhat we talk about?The waves are crashing down on you and meagain, again, againThe waves are crashing down on you and meI'll see you on the other sideGet carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-ohCaught up in, caught up in the wavesSuddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone(We're riding the wave)Watch the party playing out in slow motion(We're riding the wave)So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in(We're riding the wave)Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim(We're riding the wave)Oh, what would your mother sayif she could see what we're doing now?Oh, what would your mother sayif she could hear what we talk about? (Hey)The waves are crashing down on you and meagain, again, againThe waves are crashing down on you and meI'll see you on the other sideGet carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-ohCaught up in, caught up in the wavesThe air hit me on the way outDid it make me more sober or make me more drunk?I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of meThe air hit me on the way outDid it make me more sober or make me more drunk?I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of meThe waves are crashing down on you and meagain, again, againThe waves are crashing down on you and meI'll see you on the other sideGet carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-ohCaught up in, caught up in the wavesThey're crashing down, they're crashing down, oh(The waves)They're crashing down on you and meI'll see you on the other side(We're riding the wave)
