Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave's chicane
Staring as she called my name
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebb tide
Morning don't get here till night
Searching for her silver light
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head, no, no
Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don't envy me, yeah
Sitting till the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going 'round and 'round
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head, no, no
Oh, I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head, no, no, no, no
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave's chicane
Staring as she called my name
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebb tide
Morning don't get here till night
Searching for her silver light
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head, no, no
Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don't envy me, yeah
Sitting till the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going 'round and 'round
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head, no, no
Oh, I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Coz I can't get it out of my head, no, no, no, no
