Lyrics Peter Murphy

Peter Murphy

Deep Ocean Vast Sea

Your ocean heart

Clothed in respect

And sweet caress

My uneasy mind

You dip and you swell

Float and you find

And sweet caress

My uneasy mind

Deep ocean vast sea

Deep ocean vast sea - well that's deep

Imagine set of steps easily climbed

The tower of pride

The plastic of mind

Where there lies a table

The table stands

For the power of success

Respect on the sign

Intelligence so cold

A heart like glass

From the surface to deep

You wave and you dive

Like the heart and the sun

You wave and you dive

You hold me so cold

You wave and you dive

Deep ocean vast sea

Deep ocean vast sea - well that's me

You're clothed in respect

You smell of sweet caress

Dip and swell beyond the power of fists

Your ocean heart

Healing uneasy minds

And I wanna dive in with you

Clinging to the rock, I'm waiting

I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting

I'm waiting

Deep ocean vast sea

Deep ocean vast sea - well that's deep

Your heart is hard

You think your legs hurt

You smell of aching sweet success

Your head's a supernova

And you would like

Anything to stop the pain from your fingers

Screaming

And you stand naked in the sun

Without leather

Whose pain you think you need

Well all you need to do is undress

Let go and wash

Take the step through the other side

Up-turned razor

The air is thick with karma

A sutra of the way down

Well listen boy it's a long way down

Down through heaven's gate

To heaven's gate the step's the step

The tower of pride

The devil lied

Dive up to the highest point where the lives are save'ed

Where all the lives the tables stand

Power to success, respect and climb the steps
