Our Love was a Tsunami

OUR LOVE WAS A TSUNAMI
IT WAS BORN IN UNKNOWN DEPTHS
AND CAUGHT US ON THE BEACH ONE MORNING
THE SEA JUST SLIPPED AWAY
EXPOSING ALL THAT WET SAND
WE RUN TO PLAY AND LOOK FOR SEA-SHELLS
THEN WITH A MONSTRUOUS ROAR
THE SEA CAME BACK
DARK THUNDERING TERRIBLE………

BUT WE WERE SKILLED SURFERS
AND RODE THE TIDAL WAVE
WE RODE IT INLAND
AS IT WAS DEVASTATING
AND TOTALLY ERASING
WHATEVER THAT HAD EVER BEEN BEFORE THE DAY WE MET
WE ROSE ABOVE THE HOUSES
ABOVE THE TREES AND HIGHWAYS
HOTELS, DEPARTMENT STORES
AND IN BETWEEN CHAOS AND DISORDER
WE SAW THE FACE OF GOD
AND HE WAS MAD YES HE WAS MAD
BUT STILL WE THOUGHT THAT WE COULD KEEP ON RIDING
FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES

IF ONLY WE HADN´T FORGOTTEN
THIS WAS NO COMMON WAVE
IT WAS THE GREAT TSUNAMI
AND THE SEA JUST SLIPPED AWAY
AS SUDDENLY AS IT HAD EMERGED
AND LEFT BEHIND JUST PAIN AND DEATH
AND EVERYWHERE THERE ´RE TRACES
OF OUR VIOLENT LOVE
BUT WHERE IS THE LOVE ITSELF?
OH I GUESS
IT WENT BACK TO THE UNKNOWN DEPTHS
WHERE IT HAD BEEN BORN
AND LEFT US ALL ALONE
LOOKING FOR TRACES
OF THE LIVES THAT WE HAD BEFORE THE DAY WE MET
AND IN BETWEEN
CHAOS AND DISORDER
WE SAW THE FACE OF GOD
AND HE WAS MAD, YES HE WAS MAD
BUT NOW WE GOT THE HABBIT TO LOOK FOR WAVES TO RIDE

FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES!
