You can see the water coming out of the ground
You can see the foundation slipping down
But you can't help but wonder how long it will be
Before the restless ocean comes lapping through the branches of the trees
When the full moon pulls up a mighty tide and there's no place to run and no place to hide
When the ghosts in the ocean turn up the sea and the waves come crashing over you and me
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
When the distance is the ? of the ? day (?)
When the sun calls forth its wandering rays
When all of the island has gone to rust
And every living thing has turned to dust
There won't be anyone left to float your boat
They all went to high ground while their vessels couldn't float
They scream God's will but you know it's a lie
But you own book it says, "by fire next time"
But the golden age cracked open and there was nothing inside (?)
Cast off the ? , build a levy of lies (?)
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
Bite down on the leather and close your eyes
There's nothing to be done that could turn the tide
The money in your eyes has left you blind
You'll be the one drowning when it's swimming time
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
I can see it coming, I can see it coming
