Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the waters is rough
The sailing is tough
I'll get drowned in your love
You've got a cutthroat crew, yeah
I'm gonna sink under you, oh
I got the bell bottom blues
[Refrain]
It's gonna be the death of me
[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's the graveyard watch
Running right on the rocks
I've taken all of the knocks
You ain't given me no quarter
I'd rather drink sea water, whoa
I wish I never had brought ya
[Refrain]
It's gonna be the death of me
[Chorus]
Soul survivor, soul survivor
Soul survivor, soul survivor
Soul survivor, that's what I'm talking about
Oh, that's what I'm talking about
Soul survivor, yeah, I'm the soul survivor
[Refrain]
Gonna be the death of me
It's gonna be the death of me
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, yeah
When you're flying your flags
All my confidence sags
You got me packing my bags
I'll stowaway at sea, yeah
You make me mutiny
Where you are, I won't be
[Refrain]
Gonna be the death of me, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Soul survivor, soul survivor
Soul survivor, soul survivor
[Refrain]
It's gonna be the death of me
[Outro]
Soul sur-, that's what I'm talking about
Oh, that's what I'm talking about
That's what I'm talking, soul survivor
Soul survivor, soul survivor
Soul survivor, soul survivor
Soul survivor, soul survivor, soul survivor
