I stood alone upon the platform in vain

The puerto ricans they were playing the 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 needed 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

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 running away

Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase

You left with just the clothes on your back

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 i'm your dead sea

I'm like the dead sea

The nicest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see

I was born to be be your dead sea

I've been down i've been defeated

You're the message i will heed it

Would you stay

Would you stay the night

Dead sea

Told me i was like the dead sea

You'll never sink when you are with me

Oh lord i'm your dead sea

I'm like the dead sea

The nicest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see

I was born to be be your dead sea
