the ocean doesn t want me today but i ll be back tomorrow to play and the stranglers 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
