Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here comes the ocean
And the waves
Down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves
Where've they been?
[Verse 2]
Don't swim tonight, my love
The sea is mad, my love
It's known to drive men crazy
Malcolm has burned at sea
The castle is sits and reeks
The madness can make you hazy
[Verse 3]
But here come the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the rocks that have been here centuries or more
Down by the sea
[Verse 4]
Here comes the ocean
And the waves
Down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves
Where have they been?
[Verse 5]
Castles glowing at night
Towers above out fright
Warlocks decapitating
Malcolm he lives on hate
Serves your brain on a plate
Feasts on your mouth for dinner
[Verse 6]
But here come the waves
Washing the eyes of the men
Who have died
Down by the sea
[Verse 7]
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Written by: Lou Reed
