JAMES - Ya Ho lyrics

rate me

I nearly died when you jumped in

But you had to drown before you could swim

All the people on the beach, they were so impressed

That they wanted to join you but no they wouldn't undress

Oh there, that wetness, splashed their skin

So they prayed for a whirlpool to pull you in

Ya ho

Ya ho

Ya ho

So they looked away and they tried to pretend

That it was for you, but no it wasn't for them

Now the fear of sinking remains in place

But it's this fear of failure that a real disgrace

Ya ho

Ya ho

Let me be the one

Let me be the one

Let me be the one

Let me be the one

To get over you wall

To get over you wall

Heads in the sand, sea out of reach

Swept away by the games of the beach

Those people sat and watched your stand

While the wait of their fears pulled them underground

Will anyone learn from the stories that are told

Of the tribe who drown in a grave of gold

Ya ho

Ya ho

Ya ho

Ya ho

Ya ho

Ya ho

I see your heads down

Someone's calling

Put you heads down

Someone's drowning

Look up see what's fit for your eyes

Some escaping on someone drowning

Your head is underground

Your head is underground

Your head is underground

Your head is under the ground
