Waves to Ride Songtext
von Evripidis and His Tragedies

Our love was a tsunami
It was born in unknown depths
And caught us on the beach one morning
The sea just slipped away
Exposing all that wet sand,
We run to play and look for sea-shells
Then, with a monstrous roar,
The sea came back
Dark thundering terrible


But we were skilled surfers
And rode the tidal wave,
We rode it inland
As it was devastating
And totally erasing
Whatever that had ever been before the day we met.
We rose above the houses
Above the trees and highways,
Hotels, department stores
And in between chaos and disorder
We saw the face of God
And he was mad, yes he was mad
But still we thought that we could keep on riding
For the rest of our lives


If only we hadn′t forgotten
This was no common wave,
It was the great tsunami!
And the sea just slipped away
As suddenly as it had emerged
And left behind just pain and death
And everywhere remains
Of our violent love
But where is the love itself?
Oh I guess
It went back to the unknown depths
Where it had been born
And left us all alone,
Looking for traces
Of the lives that we had before the day we met
And in between
Chaos and disorder
We saw the face of God
And he was mad, yes he was mad
But now we got the habit,
We'll look for waves to ride
For the rest of our lives
