Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons It might be getting older, but the night's still young We never, never give up on the lost boy life So here we are, escaping from the world outside Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now? Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about? The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again The waves are crashing down on you and me I'll see you on the other side Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh Caught up in, caught up in the waves Suddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone Watch the party playing out in slow motion So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now? Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about? The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again The waves are crashing down on you and me I'll see you on the other side Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh Caught up in, caught up in the waves The air hit me on the way out Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk? I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me The air hit me on the way out Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk? I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and me The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again The waves are crashing down on you and me I'll see you on the other side Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh Caught up in, caught up in the waves They're crashing down, they're crashing down They're crashing down on you and me I'll see you on the other side
