Under moonlight, a violent tide comes in The streets are wild, with desperate children waiting for me It came like a wave, they came crashing over me If I could breathe I could swim away The strangers danced in killer drag & kicks They trick & tread, and smoke up chimneys the christmas list It came like a wave, they came crashing over me If I could breathe I could swim away It came like a wave, no one can be me but me If I could stand I could run away Run away It came like a wave, they came crashing over me If I could breathe I could swim away It came like a wave, no one can be me but me If I could stand I could run away It came like a wave, and knocked me down to my knees If I could stand I could run away
