Savage Sea

I was waiting for a mermaid to appear
Saying come little boy drown your fear
So young were the new explorers
With the spirit of Doctor Livingston
Well talk to the savage sea
Its the only direction for you and me
We wont die together in the desert
Well escape from the men of prey
Well smile like the French Resistance
And laugh at the guillotine
Well talk to the savage sea
Its the only direction for you and me
Disapproved of life around them
So they created a world of their own
Youre my last request before the firing squad
But bullets cannot penetrate the sea
Well hide in the savage sea
Its the only direction for you and me
Why should heroes always die in battle
Take the violin
Were exiles
