Dead Sea lyrics

I stood alone upon the platform in vain

The Puerto Ricans they were playing their salsa in the rain

With open doors and manual locks

In fast food parking lots

I headed west, I was a man on the move

New York, it lied to me, I needed the truth

Oh I need somebody, needed someone I could trust

And I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea, you told me I was like the Dead Sea

You'll never sink when you are with me, oh Lord, like the Dead Sea

Woah I'm like the Dead Sea, the nicest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see, I was born to be, be your dead sea

You told me you were good at runnin' away

Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase

You left with just the clothes on your back

They took the rest when you took a nap

Yes there are times we live for somebody else

Your father died and you decided to live it for yourself, you felt

You just felt it was time

And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right

Like the Dead Sea, you told me I was like the Dead Sea

You'll never sink when you are with me, oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Woah I'm like the Dead Sea, the finest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see, I was born to be, be your dead sea

I been down, I been defeated

You're the message I will heed it

Would you stay with me?

Would you stay the night?

Oohh

Like the Dead Sea, you told me I was like the Dead Sea

You'll never sink when you are with me, oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Woah I'm like the Dead Sea, the finest words you ever said to me

No need to move your feet so quickly, oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea
