lyrics

BOOM ON THE RIPTIDE

on and on the band keeps playing
swaying songs of old parades
and i recall we were never really there
hired guns don't always do it right
we are fighting for the shade
just to smash and wipe it all away

this is our time
let's watch it go boom on the riptide

on and on the passion spells
disaster on the rubber rails
this hail is never ending, at least now
pirate talk can get you far enough
it's a tough call when you're down
to turn around and face the light

this is our time
let's watch it go boom on the riptide
we're just passengers in the whites of the snake's eye
we go boom on the riptide

we pull it under as we're pulled
we pull it under as we're pulled
we pull it under as we disengage our fears

on and on the siren sings
a lonely blues in a minor key
the mist we see is only just a screen
harbingers of love and hate
dance along the aisles
and our smiles are all we have left

this is our time
let's watch it go boom on the riptide
we're just passengers in the whites of the snake's eye
let ride it out until we all learn to fly
boom, goes the fever on the riptide
