King of the Ocean

I’m lost in the desert, you might have seen it in my eyes
In between the cheesecake and small conversation
She sits across my table, the lamp light flickers and
I can see she’s going to use up all my patience

She said she can remember when she last knew happiness
But she’s got blues, is it temporary? Is it time to confess?

Up above the waterline, I see her choking on the fishbones
Of her emotions
While she calls me, I’m all at sea- king of the ocean

The desert was her playground, rattlesnakes cactus toys
Senses fill with iodine, but she’s thirsty for water
I’m insanely vulnerable - I was weekend by the fall
Just throw her a lifeline, if she calls

I said I can't remember when I last saw dry land
Married to the maritime seconds of hourglass sand

Up above the waterline we’ve got blue beards and pet potions
As she looks at me- almost accidentally
King of the ocean

Every Friday at Gilbeys, theses and empty place where you sat
You might be Noah’s little pigeon
A stool way back in Ararab- when I stood on top of the world

Up above the water line, things never for minutes, ever look the same
I’m diving for pearls and feeling fine
You can always talk to me, You can always talk to me
If you call me by name
King of the ocean
