Caught In A RipYou're only ten metres from shore But it may as well be one hundred, or even more The current you didn't know existed Is taking you out with strength most twisted You swim against it with all your might It does nothing to save you from your plight You're starting to panic and starting to tire The shore is receding, you're in straits most dire But if you swim sideways out of this rip You'll give yourself a much more pleasant trip Don't tackle this monster in a head on way Sidle out sideways and you'll live another day Addiction is a power I wouldn't lock horns with It'd beat me every time, with just a tail whisk So I'd go sideways, in crablike fashion And finally my head, I'd be able to stop bashin' Alessandra Liverani Sydney, Australia Copyright © 2003 Alessandra Liverani |
