Lead me down to dark black pits or

Places where we fall to bits

If she were there I'd hold her down
I'll push her under while she drowns and
Couldn't breathe and call for air
She doesn't care for my despair

Or is it me? Am I the one that's wrong?

river cool's where I belong

In my Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing pins and falling in
With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I

Swim along without a care
I'll eating sand when I need air you can
Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll
Wolf me down for tea tonight

I want to be (I want to be)

where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
