The Endless Sea Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh baby, what a place to be
In the service of the bourgeoisie
Where can my believers be?
I wanna jump into the endless sea

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, the endless sea (Endless)
Oh, oh, the endless sea (Endless)
I wanna jump into the endless sea (Endless)
Let it wash all over me

[Keyboard Solo]

[Verse 2]
Above us is a dirty sky (Endless)
Full of fumes and liquors (Endless)
A little girl, a little guy (Endless)
This air can't get much thicker

[Chorus]
Oh, oh the endless sea (Endless)
Oh, oh the endless sea (Endless)
Oh, oh the endless sea (Endless)
Let it wash all over me
[Bridge]
And when you're tight for the rent
You think you're gonna break
But you know you're no damn good
Just one more phony on the take
You better go (Go home) home, buddy
I really think you better go (Go home) home, buddy
You better go (Go home) home, buddy

[Outro]
To the endless sea

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
