Neil Young Lyrics

"I'm The Ocean" lyrics


I'm an accident
I was driving way too fast
I couldn't stop though
so I let the moment last
I'm for rollin'
I'm for tossin' in my sleep
it's not guilt though
it's not the company I keep

People my age
they don't do the things I do
they go somewhere
while I run away with you
I got my friends
and I got my children, too
I got her love
she's got my love, too

I can't hear you
but I feel the things you say
I can't see you
but I see what's in my way
now I'm floatin'
'cause I'm not tied to the ground
words I've spoken
seem to leave a hollow sound

On the long plain
see the rider in the night
see the chieftain
see the braves in cool moonlight
Who will love them
when they take another life?
Who will hold them
when they tremble from the knife?

Voicemail numbers
on an old computer screen
rows of lovers
parked forever in a dream
screaming sirens
echoing across the bay
to the old boats
from the city far away

Homeless heroes
walk the streets of their hometown
rows of zeros
on a field that's turning brown
they play baseball
they play football under lights
they play card games
and we watch them every night

Need distraction
need romance and candlelight
need random violence
need entertainment tonight
need the evidence
want the testimony of
expert witnesses
on the brutal crimes of love

I was too tired
to see the news when I got home
pulled the curtain
fell into bed alone
started dreaming
saw the rider once again
in the doorway
where she stood and watched for him
watched for him

I'm not present
I'm a drug that makes you dream
I'm an aerostar
I'm a cutlass supreme
in the wrong lane
trying to turn against the flow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow

I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
