Tom Waits - The Ocean Doesn't Want Me lyrics

rate me

The ocean doesn't want me today

But I'll be back tomorrow to play

The strangels will take me deep down in their brine

The mischievous brangles

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

The riptide is raging

And the lifeguard is away

But the ocean doesn't want me today

But the ocean doesn't want me today

...The ocean doesn't want me today
