Dead Sea

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain

Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain

With open doors and manual locks

In fast food parking lots

I headed West, I was a man on the move

New York had lied to me, I needed the truth

Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust

I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea

You told me I was like the Dead Sea

You'll never sink when you are with me

Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea

The nicest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see,

I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

You told me you were good at running away

Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase

You left with just the clothes on your back

You took the rest when you took the map

Yes, there are times we live for somebody else

Your father died and you decided to live

It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time

And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right

Like the Dead Sea

You told me I was like the Dead Sea

You'll never sink when you are with me

Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea

The finest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see

I was born to be, be your dead sea

I been down, I been defeated

You're the message I was heeding

Would you stay,

Would you stay the night?

Dead Sea,

Told me I was like the Dead Sea

Never sink when you are with me

Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea

The finest words you ever said to me

No need to move your feet so quickly

Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea
