Notwithstanding that rising sea levels constitute a scientific fact, the rising sea of cultural junk - resulting
from the destructive practise of wholesale extraction and expenditure of every last natural resource - is also quite real.


What my shadow does behind my back is none of my concern
My tan turns to a burn
Here comes the sea
There's a book(*) that I read after school, just some crank's bad dream
I guess he is redeemed
Here comes the sea

Here comes the sea
Salt for your wounds
Smart money's on the moon
Not the beautiful, the wild, the free
Here comes the sea

Where the echo of my laughter flies is beyond my control
My mind's a barber pole
Here comes the sea
From the treehouse we can see the need drowning in the lust
In made up shit we trust
Here comes the sea

Here comes the sea
Everything is spoiled
But they had to get the oil
Or let the other side destroy the world
Here comes the sea

What my shadow does behind my back...
Where the echo of my laughter flies...
