Across the ocean Under the sand That got in your wounds Across the ocean Under the land That you now consume There sleeps a demon It wakes at night by the light of the moon And its watching while you sleep While you sit and dream Of all the people laughing Picking up the shells Too concerned with suntans Nobody can tell They end up empty, wanting, wandering Hollow like their shells On seashores and sailors can tell they'll never tell to their maidens and babies Tales that they'll never tell Across the ocean Under the water that got in your lungs There sleeps a demon It knows exactly what you will become
And it's watching while you sleep While you sit and dream Of all the people laughing Picking up the shells Too concerned with suntans Nobody can tell They end up empty, wanting, wandering Hollow like their shells On Seashores and sailors can tell they'll never Tell to their maidens and babies Tales that they'll never tell While you're dreaming at the sea... They end up empty, wanting, wandering Hollow like their shells On Seashores and sailors can tell they'll never Tell to their maidens and babies Tales that they'll never tell They end up empty, wanting, wandering Hollow like their shells
