Lyrics
Venice Is Sinking Words and Music by Bruce Garnitz
Five o' Clock I parked my car
And wandered toward the Pier
Thought I'd have a drink or two
Before the place got weird
Harry Parry skates on by
Turban taunts the sky
Chorus:
Venice is Sinking
And no one knows why
Venice is sinking
Before my very eyes
Daredevils showin' off
One eighties in the air
Rasta feet on broken glass
The crowd seems unaware
A heavy smell of weed
A Drunken woman shrieks
Chorus
Venice is Sinking
And no one knows why
Venice is sinking
Before my very eyes
Scavengers are pickin' through the cans
Still sport their summer tans
The Beach Patrol demands
They move somewhere else... there's nowhere else Ahhh....
The fog rolls in, it's gettin' cold
What's that over there?
A child in a sleeping bag
Wrapped 'round a teddy bear
On her concrete bed
My heart drops like lead
Chorus:
Venice is Sinking
And no one cares why
Venice is sinking
Before our very eyes
Venice is Sinking, Venice is sinking
Venice is sinking and I wanna cry
