Tears in the ocean

Alone there out at sea

We always were so stupid

And so stubborn, you and me

We were drinking all that poison

Hoping someone else would die

Throwing water on our faces

Pretending we could cry

We'd roll out with the river

Learn to hate the shore

Our legs could not sit sturdy

On the ground there anymore

We were leaning on the slack ropes

Waiting for a fight

Pretend in total darkness

Underneath hospital lights

Bad idea

You know I had to do it

Another bad idea

All over again

Bait inside the bear trap

Somebody's gonna lose a limb

Washing up like wreckage

Why don't you go ruin him?

He can have your marching orders

Lose his appetite

We've all got our ankles

Best to keep 'em out of sight

You left lies up on my doorstep

Lined up like dominoes

Fell into the arms of a stranger

And forgot to wear your clothes

Well, the devil's in the pulpit

Joe ain't in the grave

Singing sweet songs of surrender

While the way is being paid

Bad idea

You know I had to do it

Another bad idea

All over again

Yes, it is

It's all over again

Not enough water in the clouds

I cannot get my fell

I used to find salvation in these tiny little pills

Time to bore out that cylinder

Buy a bigger shell

It'll be like family reunion when we all meet up in hell

Bad idea

You know I had to do it

Another bad idea

All over again

Yes, it is

All over again

Yes, it is

All over again
