Death-Defying

(album: Mars Needs Guitars! - 1985)

Ever since the world began, oowee
Men have sailed foreign land, oowee
And the fortune that they've found, oowee
Is now buried in the ground, oowee

Some would say the ocean roars, oowee
As it stumbles to the shore, oowee
But to me it only sings, oowee
Of the sorrow that it brings, oowee

All my friends are dead
Or they're dying
And our laughter turns into crying
It's death-defying

Well, I barely learned to swim, oowee
Just enough to save my skin, oowee
Now, I'll never sail alone, oowee
And my harbour is my home, oowee

Hey, hey
Hey

If there's one thing that I've learned, oowee
It's the point of no return, oowee
And if that's to be our fate, oowee
Now's no time to hesitate, oowee
Now's no time to hesitate
Now's no time to hesitate
