Standing in a sea of sleaze Devils come to bury me Half way dead and half alive Sickness never felt so right And every year a few feet more Creeping up the ocean floor Crawling up the ocean floor Crawling slowly to the shore Evil lurks an evil pure Rising up with an evil cure To swallow every living thing Evil evil entropy Drifting drowning death came pounding Over under rape and plunder And I can't swim and I can't breathe Drowning on this drunken sea Black, black ocean creeping tide Rise over me and then leave me to die Hanging off the levee brink I fell in with a crowd of freaks Half were dead and half alive Half would kill you the other half would try Hooked and baited lined and weighted Thrown in with the shit and brine So when the Devil's time is due And this Devil swallows you When half a truth is half a lie And sickness never felt so right Shame throws down a deathly notion Creeping up over black, black ocean Drifting drowning death came pounding Over under rape and plunder And I can't swim and I can't breathe Drowning on this drunken sea Black, black ocean creeping tide Wash over me and then leave me to die
