Who cares? What's the use of crying? Nothin'

Just sink in the mud, arms waving

Airlift me off the silt flats in a bore tide

Sailor boy, stand under the light in my grandfather's dog tags

If you could be strong, you'd insert the knife

You be the king, and I'll be your wife

Find someplace to hide

Where the dream survives

I'm lonely, will your love be mine?

Maybe we can pretend

 

On standby

On standby

Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry

On standby

On standby

Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime

You'll know crime

But you don't know why

You'll know crime

But you don't know

 

What's the family's role when felony rules?

The killer, the carp, the creeper, the fool

On dunes where we ride

Will the dreams survive?

I remain positive

We don't need more rules, we can bend

You could tell me the point of today's nothing

I'll hold you till the golden boomerang returns

Or you could jump into the Sandy with

Me and my baby soaking it in

 

On standby

On standby

Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry

On standby

On standby

Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime

You'll know crime

But you don't know why

You'll know crime

But you don't know why

 

Life forgives, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness

Love don't forget, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness

 

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy

Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room

Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

 

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy

Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room

Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

 

Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
