Lyrics
Riding The Black Waves
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Face down, sea bed, totally silent
pressure bulging eyes
Deep down, hands bound, air pockets keeping me alive
Black waves of the biggest kind come
Black waves of the darkest mind come
Nothing I can do but ride them out
Steer clear of the obvious choice
Keep clear of the curious path and wait
for the all clear
My own worst enemy
Pitch black, dead weight, under water
Pocket out of air
Sit and watch from in the stands
I cheer my side along
Black waves of the biggest kind come
Black waves of the darkest mind come
Nothing I can do but ride them out
Steer clear of the obvious choice
Keep clear of the curious path and wait
for the all clear
My own worst enemy
So were out the other side
And everyone survived, everyone survived
And we're floating up again
Wary of the bends
We're all clear
