Lyrics
Nothing's Shocking version:
Three, Four! Wish I was ocean size They cannot move you man, No one tries No one pulls you Out from your hole Like a tooth aching in a jawbone... I was made with a heart of stone To be broken With one hard blow I've seen the ocean Break on the shore Come together with no harm done... It ain't easy living... I want to be As deep As the ocean Mother ocean I want to be As deep As the ocean Mother ocean yeah! Some people tell me Home is in the sky In the sky lives a spy I want to be more like the ocean No talking man, All action... No talking man, All action...
Demo Version:
Three, Four! Wish I was ocean size They cannot move you man, No one tries No one pulls you Out from your hole Like a tooth aching in jawbone I was made with a heart of stone To be broken With one hard blow I've seen the ocean Break on the shore Come together with no harm done It ain't easy living I want to be As deep As the ocean Mother ocean yeah! Ah... I want to be As deep As the ocean Mother ocean yeah! Some people tell me Home is in the sky In the sky lives a spy I want to be more like the ocean No talking man, All action No talking man, All action
