Just when I think I’ve got it made

An end to all the games being played

No more lives being lost in the fray

The wolves will not be kept at bay!

Sanity goes astray

With the radicals expecting to be paid

Oh my Swedish live in maid

Where were you when I so desperately prayed?

The surface of the ocean will never remain calm

But you can continue to recite your psalms

Your anxiety measured in your sweaty palms

If sore just apply this balm,

A cold gray day appeared at my door again

There was no use in trying to pretend

The wind was an icy breath that transcends

All efforts as the temperature descends,

An ex-lover can be every bit as cold

Completely chilling truth be told

Her need for you is now forgotten and old

Your soul has been bought and sold,

You thought you knew it all

All the while unknowingly headed for the fall

Your eyes like those of a lifeless doll’s

And you actually have the guts to act appalled,

In the sea is a mighty squall

Ninety foot waves could end it all

Bouncing a ship up and down like a ball

All you can do is vomit and crawl,

You’re at the mercy of what you can’t control

Like victims evacuating from a dust bowl

Nature will always take its toll

Like the truth hidden within an opinion poll,

Like the odd man out in a Hollywood party

And you thought you were so strong and hardy

You trusted her like your personal Barbie

Well little lady just pardon me!

As the waves come crashing in

The ship’s hull seems to spin

It’s a world of hurt where have you been?

Life flashes before your eyes as water rises above your chin.
