I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks

In fast food parking lots

I headed West, I was a man on the move

New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us


Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea

You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea


Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see,

I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

You told me you were good at running away

Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map


Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live

It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right


Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me

Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea

The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see
I was born to be, be your dead sea


I been down, I been defeated
You're the message I was heeding

Would you stay,
Would you stay the night?


Dead Sea,
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
I never sink when you are with me

Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea

The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
