Walking in the Shallows - Gene

Oh, I’ve decided not to try

To understand my life

Grasp the forces that deny

They grapple with my drive

Oh, my heart full of pain

So I follow my groin not my brain

On a night like tonight

I’m walking in the shallows

Take me out, where it’s bright

I’m off the straight and narrow

Feel alive.

So won’t you be my girl?

Walking in the shallows

Close your eyes.

Hold me tight.

Be alright

Oh I’ve decided not to try

To understand my life

Cos the wherefores and the whys

Play havoc with my mind

Oh, my heart full of pain

So I follow my groin not my brain

On a night like tonight

I’m walking in the shallows

Take me out, where it’s bright

I’m off the straight and narrow

I feel alive.

So won’t you be my girl?

Walking in the shallows

Close your eyes.

Hold me tight.

Be alright

I don’t want to think I’m bored of time

Spent wasting words on being kind

I’d rather be a fool than be cruel

On a night like tonight

I’m walking in the shallows

Take me out, where it’s bright

I’m off the straight and narrow

I feel alive.

So won’t you be my girl?

Walking in the shallows

Close your eyes.

Hold me tight.

Be alright
