I stood alone upon the platform in vain The puerto ricans they were playing their 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 it lied to me I needed the truth Oh, I need somebody, I need someone I could trust And 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 Woah 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 runnin' away Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase You left with just the clothes on your back They took the rest when you took a nap 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, like the dead sea Woah 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 will heed it Would you stay with me Would you stay the night Oohh 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 Woah 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
