Spend my life swimming in the cold sea of complacency The long barren waters of modernity All I really need is a place where I can hide away Write down all the words that I've been meaning to say Don't get sucked down in this cold hearted town My darling girl It's a cruel world Don't get sucked down in this cold hearted town Found myself a place out along the shore Where I can hide my days away when I don't want no more Sometimes life can get too much The waters they can get so rough Searching for some peace but I can never get enough Don't get sucked down in this cold hearted town My darling girl It's a cruel world Don't get sucked down in this cold hearted town You turned water into gold You could heal the liar's soul, my darling I... You turned water into gold You could feed the lion's soul, my darling I... Trouble comes to everyone no matter what they say, A thousand stars with broken hearts will go their separate ways Sometimes life can get too much The waters they can get so rough Searching for some peace but we can never get enough Don't get sucked down in this cold hearted town My darling girl It's a cruel world Don't get sucked down in this cold hearted town My darling girl It's a cruel world Don't get sucked down in this cold hearted town This cold hearted town This cold hearted town This cold hearted town
