Flotsam and Jetsam Lyrics
[Verse]
Oh, doing nothing, stuck in the mud
Just pumping the blood
The water level's getting low
Something ugly's going to show
[Chorus]
If only I could touch you
I guess you'd be alarmed
If only I could touch you
I don't mean you no harm
If only I could touch you
Like the wind can touch the sail
If only I could touch you, darling
Now that words have failed
[Outro]
Oh, flotsam still afloat
Oh, jetsam thrown out of the boat
And oh, love, my love
Nothing here is what it seems
We both know it
Christ, you show it
Oh, oh, my love
Oh, doing nothing, stuck in the mud
Just pumping the blood
The water level's getting low
Something ugly's going to show
[Chorus]
If only I could touch you
I guess you'd be alarmed
If only I could touch you
I don't mean you no harm
If only I could touch you
Like the wind can touch the sail
If only I could touch you, darling
Now that words have failed
[Outro]
Oh, flotsam still afloat
Oh, jetsam thrown out of the boat
And oh, love, my love
Nothing here is what it seems
We both know it
Christ, you show it
Oh, oh, my love
