Shallow Bay Lyrics
[Intro]
Come on!
[Verse 1]
The sun will rise
Another time
The colors blind
Your virgin eyes
I'm so inclined
To make you mine
You're out of line
And out of time
[Chorus]
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
[Verse 2]
Don't over kill
This painless thrill
It's bitter still
You're pretty pill
You wait until
You've had your fill
I know you will
I know you will
Come on!
[Verse 1]
The sun will rise
Another time
The colors blind
Your virgin eyes
I'm so inclined
To make you mine
You're out of line
And out of time
[Chorus]
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
[Verse 2]
Don't over kill
This painless thrill
It's bitter still
You're pretty pill
You wait until
You've had your fill
I know you will
I know you will
[Chorus]
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
[Bridge]
A shallow bay
A shallow bay
[Chorus]
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
[Outro]
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
[Bridge]
A shallow bay
A shallow bay
[Chorus]
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
[Outro]
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live
