Tidal Wave

It's not the barnacles that do all the damage Figure this out too late It's not the destination that makes the difference It's the freight Everything becomes a blur from six feet away Get used to this Every card ever turned over remains in place Get used to this Not every wave is a tidal wave Not every wave is a tidal wave It's not the mutiny that gets written down in the diary It's the manifest Forgotten cargo in obsolete measurements Anybody's guess Even the proud, even the very proud Probably die on their knees Twin masts out on the open seas Mistaken for trees Not every wave is a tidal wave Not every wave is a tidal wave
