"Salt Water" is a track by The The, from the album NakedSelf, released 28th February 2000. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Salt Water

W-w-wave upon wave

Roll upon roll

Tiny it shrinks

Then huge it blows

Gotta be sharp

Gotta be strong

Things get w-w-weird

Before they go wrong

And he knows that once he starts

He just can't stop

Next life he's coming back as a dog

Blindin' his eyes

Rushin' thru his veins

Tricklin' down thighs

Again
