The Dead Sea

[Verse 1]
I found a thing just the other day
And I needed to throw it away
How can I lose this permanently?
I'm gonna take it right on down to the Dead Sea
Throw it out in the Dead Sea

And while I'm standing at the Dead Sea
I saw a man looking back at me
Could it be the man I was
Or the man that I need to be
Staring into the Dead Sea?

[Chorus]
Oh, ain't it funny how waves can flow?
The heavens pull and the high winds blow
And then somehow we all wind up here
In that place where we face our fear
Out on the Dead Sea
Out on the Dead Sea

[Verse 2]
I don't know how it got this far
Started wondering where you are
And I was hidden in the garden well
Hoping that the saints don't tell on me
Now I find me at the Dead Sea

Nothing lives in the water here
Nothing lives anywhere near
I'm so afraid to let it be
And I'm hanging on desperately
So afraid of the Dead Sea

[Chorus]
Oh, ain't it funny how waves can flow?
The heavens pull and the high winds blow
Then somehow we all wind up here
In that place where we face our fear
Out on the Dead Sea
Floating on a dead sea

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And in a place of helplessness
The waters moved in a sweet caress
Even though I can't drink this cup
Still a hand is holding me up
Can't sink in the Dead Sea

[Chorus]
Oh, ain't it funny how life can go?
The valleys high and the mountains low
Then somehow we all wind up here
In that place where we face our fear
And I'm alive on the Dead Sea
Ha, swimming in the Dead Sea

[Outro]
Oh, out on the Dead Sea
(Oh, out on the Dead Sea)
Oh, out on the Dead Sea
(Oh, out on the Dead Sea)
Oh, out on the Dead Sea
(Oh, out on the Dead Sea)
Oh, out on the Dead Sea
