[Verse 1]
Under moonlight
A violent tide comes in
The streets are wild
With desperate children waiting for me

[Chorus 1]
It came like a wave
They came crashing over me
If I could breathe I could swim away

[Verse 2]
The strangers danced
In killer drag and kicks
They trick and treat
And smoke up chimneys, the Christmas list

[Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
Run away
