Song Lyrics:

A STORM OUT AT SEA

Intro:
(An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth)
(A dance for the chance to defend our youth)
(Your heart is heavy; mine's light as a feather)
(A storm's out at sea; that's when we get together)
[Rpt 2x]

Verse 1:
I don't try to rhyme every time I am speaking
Words sung from my tongue have a way of wreaking
Havoc on the mind and chaos on the body
I'm trying to kick the habit but the effort's rather shoddy
I don't aim for fame as the highest achievement
'Cause why live life in a state of bereavement?
Money is not a loved one of mine
I'm preoccupied with soaking my feet in sea salt brine

[Rpt. Intro]

CHORUS:
Eh-oh, weh-oh
Could it be finally we agree that it's better?
Eh-oh, weh-oh
Not to cry, we're allies, we reply -- "Free the debtor!"
Eh-oh, weh-oh
Can we shatter the shackles no matter the weather?
Eh-oh, weh-oh
There's a storm out at sea; that's when we get together

Verse 1:
We answer the calling of the broken who are falling
We extend a hand of friendship to those needing our attention
We stand for the freedom to express our words; we need them
Otherwise we'd have no voice; our thoughts would never get a mention
Some days, they are overcast and windy; we adjust the mast
And sail to the horizon as if never even hindered
At night we jubilee, a storm is out at sea
And every lightning strike is like a spark upon the tinder

[Rpt. CHORUS]

Verse 2:
Sailing on a lonesome ship, a dagger hanging from his hip
The solitary wayfarer sees a light before him
He listens to the sound of people dancing all around
And when he gets a little closer we call out, we don't ignore him
Everybody wants to join the celebration; toss a coin
And all the ones who've chosen tails will gain a free admission
Then we crack a grin, the rest are coming in
And we're not gonna charge them 'cause they don't need our permission

[Rpt. CHORUS]

Bridge:
There's not a moment we aren't thankful for the life we're livin'
We cherish every bit we're given

Step to the left and slide to the right now
Ball up your fists and put up a fight now
We'd have come here even with or without them
We treat them like family but we know nothing about them
[2x]

Get together!

[Rpt. CHORUS]

Na-na, na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na na na na na
Na-na, na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na
[2x]
