YEAR OF THE SHARK

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 am 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
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
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.
