Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We used to go down to the beach at night
Fireflies dancing in the promenade lights
Oh, those rock and roll bands used to really swing
And I'd do the foxtrot with sweet Christine
Speaking to me with her gentle hands
Fly on down to Wonderland
[Verse 2]
Deep water
I'm caught up in its flow
If I'm in over my head
I'd be the last to know
[Verse 3]
Deep water
Deep water
[Verse 4]
They closed down the doors to the Trocadero
And I came back looking just like a ghost
Posters are scattered all over the stairs
Nobody reads 'em, so nobody cares
The kids all retired when they reached twenty-one
But really just ain't my idea of fun
[Verse 5]
Deep water
I'm caught up in its flow
If I'm in over my head
I'd be the last to know
[Verse 6]
Deep water
Deep water
[Verse 7]
Sitting out on the Palm Beach Road
I'm so drunk and the car won't go
My crazy eyes keep looking out to sea
[Verse 8]
The Sunday drivers are cruising 'round
Wish they'd all go back to town
What do they expect to find
Sure as hell ain't peace of mind
[Verse 9]
Deep water
I'm caught up in its flow
If I'm in over my head
I'd be the last to know
[Verse 10]
Deep water
Deep water
Deep water
Deep water
