Lyric The Ocean Doesn t Want Me

(Tom Waits)

The ocean doesn t want me today
But I ll be back tomorrow to play
And the strangles will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous braingels
Down into the endless blue wine
I ll open my head and let out
All of my time
I d love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn t want me today
I ll go in up to here
It can t possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer
And my shirt
A rip tide is raging
And the life guard is away
But the ocean doesn t want me today
The ocean doesn t want me today
