lyrics
Lyrics for: DOWN IN THE PLASTIC OCEAN
Ooh ooh ohh
Ride out the storm
Baton down the hatch
Hold out for hope
We’ll turn the ship around
We’ll turn this ship around
Down in the plastic ocean
You gave life to me
Here’s to the deep blue sea
Where it’s always been for free
Where we’ve always played for free
And if l looked you in the eyes
I’d say I wish I’d been a better friend
Keeping our dirty little secrets safe at sea
Down in the plastic ocean
You gave your life for me
Here’s to the deep blue sea
Where we always played for free
Where I always played for free
Me in the plastic ocean
And me in the plastic ocean
Away in the plastic ocean
Ooh ooh ooh….
