|
I'm going down by the jetty |
|
Tonight the tide is high |
|
It's tankers in the channel laying |
|
Flames up in the sky |
|
I'm going down by the jetty |
|
(Be)fore I leave this world behind |
|
'Cause that oil slick on the water |
|
Is band to ease my worried mind |
|
My face is slowly burning |
|
My eyes are turning red |
|
In the shadow of the refinery, baby |
|
Tonight I'll make my bed |
|
I'm going down by the jetty |
|
(Be)fore I leave this world behind |
|
(Fore I leave this world behind) |
|
'Cause that oil slick on the water |
|
Is band to ease my worried mind |
|
- Harmonica and Guitar Solo - |
|
The air is filled with poison |
|
The sea is thick with grease |
|
Somewhere in this hell on earth |
|
I'll surely get some peace |
|
With one foot on the water |
|
And one foot on the pier |
|
I'm ready for the next world |
|
To get me outta here |
|
I'm going down by the jetty |
|
(Be)fore I leave this world behind |
|
'Cause that oil slick on the water |
|
Is bound to ease my worried mind |
|
Bye bye, cruel world... |
