High tide

Summer in the city

The kids are looking pretty

But isn't it a pity that the sunshine

Is followed by thunder?

With thoughts of going under

And is it any wonder



Why the sea's

Been calling out to me?

I seem to spend my whole life running

From people who could be

The death of you and me

'Cause I can feel the storm clouds sucking up my soul



High tide

Life is getting faster

And no one has the answer

I try to face the day down in a new way

The bottom of a bottle

Is every man's apostle

Let's run away together



You and me

Forever we'd be free

Free to spend our whole lives running

From people who would be

The death of you and me

'Cause I can feel the storm clouds

Sucking up my soul



Let's run away to sea

Forever we'd be free

Free to spend our whole lives running

From people who would be

The death of you and me

'Cause I can feel the storm clouds coming



I'm watching my TV,

Or is it watching me?

I see another new day dawning

It's rising over me

And my mortality

And I can feel the storm clouds

Sucking up my soul
