lyrics

once there was a lady i forget her name
and there was a ladies man
and everybody acted as if nobody could see
and so he pulled one over time and time again

with eyes wide shut again
even though we told you you could not depend on him
you learn to hold it in
until it's coming down a black saltwater sea

so it was he came and went and didn't care
love was just a stupid game
he'd crush her like a velvet glove and mess her pretty hair
but she'd always let him come back just the same

with eyes wide shut again
even though we told you you could not depend on him
you learn to hold it in
until it's coming down a black saltwater sea

wait wait wait she cried in vain
all the while the water rising filling up her brain
it pulled them down the drain
and it was coming down a black saltwater sea

with eyes wide shut again
even though we told you you could not depend on him
you learn to hold it in
until it's coming down a black saltwater sea
