lyrics

I've been slumming here for oh so many years.
In my heart I know it's where I wanna be.
Down by the ocean, I'll be falling to the bottom of the sea.

They say you'll never understand the law of the land,
But the law could never quite apply to me.
Down by the ocean, I'll be falling to the bottom of the sea.

In a hole down deep deep dark,
Deep deep down is how I feel.
Deep in the sea is where I lay
For these deep dark unknown days.

Although I live like half a man, adrift upon the sand,
Should the world end this is where I wanna be.
Down by the ocean, I'll be falling to the bottom of the sea.
