Wave After Wave lyrics

Troubadours cut loose to float Star spangled in their glowing boat The sail's down, the rudder's broken The "told ya so's" remain unspoken See the Portuguese man-o-war, Haven't touched it but I'm already sore Burgundy in the turquoise foam Always feel so far from home Wave after wave Sun burnt but we're past the sting Together tuning out our suffering In the same boat singing the slave song Becomes the metaphor for getting along In battle stations I have your back My gaffer's ready when the sharks attack Life and death is a simple struggle Staying civil while the work is doubling Wave after wave There will be no rescue ship The dark horizon will pitch and dip The last ounce of respect we save 'Cause we'll be hit with another wave Wave after wave
