lyrics

When your train loses its last wheel
Heading around the last bend
And the fire the conductor holds
Won't be lit again
You call out for help
But there's nothing the postman can send
Well you're left all alone
There's no one you can call your friend

All my friends live by the sea

When the moon falls down
And all the lights in the town go out
Well the rain it starts to pour
But not enough to end the drought
And you've cried so much
That your cup's more tears than stout
But there's no one around
No no one who can help you out

All my friends live by the sea
And they're all underwater but they ain't got nothing on me

When you wake up in the morning
And it hurts you to move your head
And the taste of yesterday's wine
Is enough to turn you off bread
Well you'd go into town
If you could just pull yourself out of bed
But you can't help it none
So you turn on the TV instead

All my friends live by the sea
And they're all underwater but they ain't got nothing on me
And they're coming up for air but they just won't let me be

Live by the sea
