WAVING AND DROWNING

I'm on an island but I'm watching the sea people swimming - they're waving at me
it's so inviting - it's so enticing
I've heard the stories and I know that it's true
about the sharks and the rip-tides too but those people out there they just don't seem to care
But they're waving and drowning
I'm in a cafe where they sneer at your clothes you eat garbage and you pay through the nose
it's so devinely sweet - you pay not to eat
where they're waving and drowning
fickle feeling - fickle heart
leaves you reeling - tears you apart
I'm telling truth and I'm being despised
smiling mouths preaching empty lies they're just doing their best - happy more or less
but they're waving and drowning
