The Living End Ride the Wave Boy song lyrics

Standing on the beach watching the waves crash on the sand

He doesn't care about tomorrow, he's got a better plan

He's got a man uptown who supplies him with a cheap escape

He's a man on a mission, he ain't ever gonna listen

Got a ticket on a one way train

But he's heading the wrong way

Boy

Hand on the trigger

His whole world marches by

The waves are getting bigger

And he's out on a mission to chase the next ride

Getting ready for one last trip

And then he's gonna give it away

But the cards of life don't fall the same way twice

And before you can leave the game

The dealer must get paid

Boy

Well I was too busy to stop and see

The desperation in your eyes

You're lost inside a never-ending dream

Chasing the next ride

He crawls down to the edge of the water,

He's drifting away

They never found him, they thought he had drowned

But it didn't matter anyway

He'd be on the next wave

Boy
