River splashes against the rocks

And I scale a slope I hope the tracks won't

Lead me down to dark black pits or

Places where we fall to bits

If she were there I'd hold her down

I'll push her under while she drowns and

Couldn't breathe and call for air

She doesn't care for my despair

Or is it me?

Or the one that's wrong

You see it in the sea

River cool's where I belong

In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes

Sailing by and I feel like

Growing fins and falling in

With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I'll

Swim along without a care

I'm eating sand when I need air you can

Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll

Wolf me down for tea tonight

I want to be

Where the drownings are

You see it in the sea

River cools where I belong

In my Mersey paradise

I want to be

Where the drownings are

You see it in the sea

River cools where I belong

Oh yeah

I want to be

Where the drownings are

You see it in the sea

River cools where I belong

In my Mersey paradise
