lyrics

-PART ONE-
Staring at the green of the cold North Sea with the wind beating down on the old country and I'm tired. I am tired.

And no sound comes out when I want to shout; there is a hole in my head full of bullets and lead and I'm tired. I am tired.

I see you hiding in the sea
Shimmering flecks on aquamarine
The age of Aquarius, the year of the shark
Swimming, silver, in the water --- a light bulb in the dark

And there's no way I am getting my hair wet
and there's no way I am going out there
and there's no way I am coming out to join you when I’m already drowning right here and I'm tired. I am tired.

I see you hiding in the sea
Shimmering flecks on aquamarine
The age of Aquarius, the year of the shark
Swimming, silver, in the water --- a light bulb in the dark

No, no, no, no, no. I'm drowning.
No, no, no, no, no. I'm tired.

I see you hiding in the sea
Shimmering flecks on aquamarine
The age of Aquarius, the year of the shark
Swimming, silver, in the water --- a light bulb in the dark

-PART TWO-
I shot a soldier in the hand and he'll never shoot again and the tide washes everything away
Down the barrel of gun at another human and the tide washes everything away
The enemy is within make sure that you don’t work for him --- hold that thought in your memory
There are spies everywhere, just be sure there are none here --- hold that thought in your memory
Oh, sail away from these rocks, there's many sailors lost --- hold that thought in your memory
And there's no way I'm getting my hair wet
and there's no way I'm coming out there
and there's no way I'm coming out to join you
when I'm already drowning right here and I am tired.
