The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Lyrics

(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
