BRAINTAX - Oceans lyrics

rate me

You know it's truthful when you hear me

Real name J Christie, born '73

Deep down I'm probably just like you

Deep down you're probably just like me

My ambition's to be free

My favourite colour's green like the land

Second favourite's blue like the sea

and the sky I see most

I have a vision of me sitting happy on the coast

The blue water crashes down, the ocean sound

By a lighthouse; image that I felt in a book

My children play together on the sand,

I look, can't see their faces yet

I love her deeply even though we haven't yet met

My future's far from set

At times I forget to live for here and now

I'm in a dream-world, cliff-top, my private sundown

And if the wind comes and tries to blow me off the ledge

I'll be falling still clutching my dreams until I'm dead

And how I feel today, tomorrow won't apply

Landed in a rock pool, survived cos I refuse to die

Now, what this Braintax thing is really all about is:

Utilising your brain can give you more clout

My mind keeps me positive when the world gets me down

I close my eyes and orange dots melt my stony frown

I stay looking ahead like a figurehead

My ship drifts, bouncing my physical while my mind lifts

It's all about a vivid life, more colour, it's a new day,

Snap your skull, chase the blues away

We splash lime, scales climb and diminish

Creating every image off the top of me

And time's never stopping me

Therapist tried hard to be a hedonist but only Earth's rockin' me

These drugs are good though they're blocking me

They're nice when they're free

And help ease the pain when it feels life's knockin' me

I'll get the roof terrace and the olive grove,

The swimming pool, home in the sun

Somewhere on the globe there's a place

So I'm a ship in the night

Weighing anchor in the place where my soul feels right...
