I should know It was there Right in front of my eyes Skeletons and everything On a blanket of sand Where the creatures had died Held my breath - oh what a stink High up a riot of cries All the birds are circling Sure that the moon will provide Hoping that he's hurrying If we hit high tide The banks are gonna break The flood comes rushing over The castles that we made If we hit high tide I will let the water Drag me back into the ocean Back into the ocean Thought the wall That we built On the beach Would be strong I tried to make it beautiful Pulling down Tiny stones With my hands I was wrong I started my own funeral it's Easy to see it too late When the wave comes crashing in Trying to plan my escape Stop myself from drowning If we hit high tide The banks are gonna break The flood comes rushing over The castles that we made If we hit high tide I will let the water Drag me back into the ocean Back into the ocean Deep beneath the sea I wait Counting on the current's sway To pick me up and start again Does the circle never end If we hit high tide The banks are gonna break The flood comes rushing over The castles that we made If we hit high tide I will let the water Drag me back into the ocean Back into the ocean Back into the ocean Back into the ocean
