Under moonlight, a violent tide comes in
The streets are wild, with desperate children waiting for me

It came like a wave, they came crashing over me
If I could breathe I could swim away, swim away

The strangers dressed in killer drag & kicks
They trick & tread, and smoke up chimneys the christmas list

It came like a wave, they came crashing over me
If I could breathe I could swim away
It came like a wave, no one can be me but me
If I could stand I could run away
Run away

It came like a wave, they came crashing over me
If I could breathe I could swim away
It came like a wave, no one can be me but me
If I could stand I could run away
It came like a wave, and knocked me down to my knees
If I could stand I could run away
