Lyrics

Red Flag Diver

[Verse 1]

Red flag diver

Jump to me

Red flag diver

Jump to me

I’m just floating here

In a big red sea

Red flag diver, dive in

[Verse 2]

Red flag diver

Swim to me

Red flag diver

Swim to me

You’ll be miserable

But I’ll be free

Red flag diver, dive in

[Chorus]

'Cause first I’ll want it

And then I won’t want it

And then I’ll just scuttle it all

On rocks where sirens call

You can blame my daddy

The playboy caddy

Who never kept his eye on the ball

The whitecaps rise and fall

[Verse 3]

Red flag diver

Dive for me

Red flag diver

Dive for me

I’m as good for you

As I can be

Red flag diver, dive in

[Chorus]

'Cause first I’ll want it

And then I won’t want it

And then I’ll just scuttle it all

On rocks where sirens call

You can blame my daddy

The playboy caddy

Who never kept his eye on the ball

The whitecaps rise and fall

The whitecaps rise and fall
