Lyrics
Verse 1
The tide is high, the drinks run dry
The captain's coming on board.
It's hard to hide his booze filled eyes,
the signs just can't be ignored.
He's close to the edge
he's ready to slip, into the squalor and squall.
He's losing his mind and looking to find
someone to kick off a brawl.
He's been here before, but the waves just keep calling.
Chorus
Danger!
Danger deep water
Danger!
Danger deep water
Verse 2
He's up to his neck cos he's drowning in debt
trapped in the sea of despair.
He'd bet his own life on the throw of some dice
so messed up he just don't care.
Will he sink? Will he swim?
Will the bells toll for him
with the sirens calling out his name?
He's losing his soul 'cos it's so rock and roll
and this sorry song just remains the same.
He's been here before, but the waves just keep calling
Chorus
Danger!
Danger deep water
Danger!
Danger deep water
