The Ocean Lyrics by Velvet Underground

The Ocean Lyrics

    1969 live version
    --------------------------------------------

    Here comes the ocean
    And the waves down by the shore
    Here comes the ocean
    And the waves down by the sea
    Earth is a hollow hair bought of a bigger head
    It nearly drives me crazy
    I am a lazy son
    I never get things down
    ...(unknown)

    But here comes the waves
    Down by the shore
    Washing the eye of the land
    That has been down by the sea
    Down by the sea
    Down by the sea
    Down by the sea

    Here comes the ocean and the waves
    Down by the shore
    Here comes the ocean and the waves
    Down by the sea

    (incense or in sex or insects) for evil thoughts, thought of by selfish men
    It nearly drives me crazy
    I am a lazy son
    I never get things done
    ...(unknown)

    Here comes the waves down by the shore
    Washing the eye of the land that has been down by the sea
    Down by the sea

    Here come the waves
    Here come the waves
    Here come the waves

    Here comes the ocean
    And the waves
    Down by the sea
    Here comes the ocean
    And the waves
    Where have they been?

    Silver and black with night
    Heres to a summers night
    An empty splendid castle
    Glowering alone at night
    The princess has had a fright
    Madness seeks out the lover

    And here come the waves down by the shore
    Washing the soul of the body
    That comes from the depths of the sea

    Here comes the ocean
    And the waves down by the sea
    Here comes the ocean
    And the waves, where have they been
    Don't swim tonight my love
    The tide is out my love
    Malcom's curse haunts our family
    Oh yes, loud in which, ruler of filthy seas, revelling heavans justice

    And here come the waves
    And save for a scream
    Theres much like a song
    To be heard, in the wind, that blows by the sea.

    Like the wind

    Here come the waves,
    Here come the waves,
    Here come the waves
