Suddenly There Is A Tidal Wave
The Magnetic Fields · The Wayward Bus [1991]
You held me upside-down
Till I couldn't breathe anymore
Then you held me like a baby
Television, like wine and cigarettes
Like grains of sand and raspberry schnapps
Like a thousand sunsets
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
There were probably birds
Outside our little room
I don't remember anything but you
We must have been the butt
Of all the jokes in the world
For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
Till I couldn't breathe anymore
Then you held me like a baby
Television, like wine and cigarettes
Like grains of sand and raspberry schnapps
Like a thousand sunsets
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
There were probably birds
Outside our little room
I don't remember anything but you
We must have been the butt
Of all the jokes in the world
For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
