Suddenly There Is a Tidal Wave

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
