Stephin Merritt - Suddenly There Is A Tidal Wave lyrics

[Verse 1: Susan Anway] You held me upside-down Till I couldn't breathe anymore Then you held me like a baby Television, like wine and cigarettes Like grains of sand and raspberry schnapps Like a thousand sunsets [Chorus] The boys talk like they own the world The women keep their stupid diaries But suddenly there's a tidal wave And everything is s**ed out to sea [Verse 2] There were probably birds Outside our little room I don't remember anything but you We must have been the bu*t Of all the jokes in the world For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking [Chorus] (x2)
