lyrics
goodnight, everybody, have a good evening
do we let her drown or do we bury her a christian?
sleeping at the opera; sitting by the poolside
everybody else wet ~ why's she wanna stay dry?
ask a silly question, squint away the red eye
there's the thunder rolling; everybody inside
staring straight into the sun while we're young
we can still taste the salt on out tongues
voices singing, sirens screaming
she don't know
and they don't know
thunder's still a-crashin' ~ someone's face is ashen
they'll chew their gums when they grow old
if they grow old
sea sluts wailing -- how they carry on!
mad king drowning, current sweeps along
chlorination, coronation
ecstasy still keeping us afloat
sink it like a rumor, needs a sense of humor
build my crazy castle in the summer snow
but I don't know
children buried out to sea
a peaceful grave; no autopsy
saltwater scours them clean
underwater cares get a bite to eat
something so exotic leaves the kiddies blind
do you really think this virgin lost her mind?
sea sluts wailing -- how they carry on!
mad king drowning, current sweeps along
chlorination, coronation
we wake up some thousand leagues below
bathing in spite of a fear of the sea
stripping to the skin, you observe their disease
then a hush falls when the tide rolls in
you see their pruned fingertips
seven lost kids in a six-man lifeboat
someone's gonna have to swim to keep the rest afloat
treading water behind his eyes
no one ever asked to be this way
don't you understand it's a lover game?
sitting by the poolside, dangling your toes in
we all see you hesitating to go under
sea sluts wailing -- how they carry on!
mad king drowning, current sweeps along
chlorination, coronation
ecstasy some thousand leagues below
