I stood alone, upon the platform in vain Puerto Ricans they were playing me 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 had lied to me, I needed the truth Oh, I need somebody, I needed someone I could trust 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 Whoa, 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 You took the rest when you took the map 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 Whoa, 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 I've been down, I've been defeated You're the message I was heeding Would you stay, Would you stay the night? Dead Sea, Told me I was like the Dead Sea Never sink when you are with me Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea The nicest words you ever said to me Honey can't you see I was born to be your Dead Sea
