Tom Waits - The Ocean Doesn't Want Me

Well, the-
The ocean doesn't want me today
But I'll be back tomorrow to play
And the strangles will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous brain jewels
Down into the endless blue wine
I'll open my head and let out all of my time
I'd love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn't want me today
I'll go in up to here
It can't possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer and my shirt
A rip tide is ragin'
And the life guard's away
But the ocean doesn't want me today
But the ocean doesn't want me today
The ocean doesn't want me today
