river splashes against the rocks
and i scale a slope
i hope the tracks won't
lead me down to dark black pits
or places where we fall to bits
if she were there i'd hold her down
i'll push her under while she drowns
and couldn't breathe and call for air
she doesn't care for my despair
or is it me?
or the one that's wrong
you see it in the sea
river cool's where i belong
in my mersey paradise
as i stare an oil wheel comes
sailing by
and i feel like
growing fins and falling in
with the bricks
the bikes
the rusty tin
i'll swim along without a care
i'm eating sand when i need air
you can bet your life i'll meet a pike
who'll wolf me down for tea tonight
i want to be
where the drownings are
you see it in the sea
river cool's where i belong
in my mersey paradise
i want to be
where the drownings are
you see it in the sea
river cool's where i belong
oh
yeah
i want to be
where the drownings are
you see it in the sea
river cool's where i belong
in my mersey paradise
