Calexico Ocean Of Noise song lyrics

In an ocean of noise I first heard your voice

Ringing like a bell as if I had a choice, oh, well

Left in the morning while you were fast asleep

Into an ocean of violence, a world of empty streets

You've got your reasons and me, I've got mine

But all the reasons I gave were just lies to buy myself some time

In an ocean of noise I first heard your voice

Now who here among us still believes in choice? Not I

No way of knowing what any man will do

An ocean of violence between me and you

You've got your reasons and me, I've got mine

But all the reasons I gave were just lies to buy myself some time

I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out

I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out for you

I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out

I'm gonna work it out 'cause time won't work it out for you

I'm gonna work it on out
