Brother Michael Songtext

von Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons

Regardless of the science and the reason
I know the waters shelter many beasts
Walk my daughter through the Tijuana market
To get a glimpse of monsters lyin waitin for me

I heard the stories of the manatee's
Made like mermaids for the pirates in the waves
Could have met one up in Portland, Maine in 1993
But I have never been accused of being brave

I know
I know
I know they're underneath the sea
I know
I know
I Know they're out there lyin, waitin for me

Bradley called from friendly street this morning
Talkin 'bout bomb scares and casulties of art
Well these waters they hold creatures with no conscience
Who will drag you down before you even start

Communist roadblocks and mexican marines
Will melt like Daquries you left out lyin in the sun
I give up trying figure out what any of it means
Yeah I've been asking here since 1961

I know
I know
I know they're underneath the sea
I know
I know
They're out there lying, waitin for me

Quiet little boys with chocolate ice cream
Now the kings of Ensanada on the cliffs
I can see the cowboys diving for pearls and sunken treasures
But your presence here is still my greatest gift

Regardless of the Science and the reason
I know the waters shelter many beasts
Walk my daughter through the Tijuana market
To get a glimpse of monsters lying in wait for me

I know
I know
I know they're underneath the sea
I know
I know
They're out there lying in wait for me

I say Hey. hey Brother Michael
Well I dont want to stand so afraid no more
Hey Brother Michael
Wont you lead me safely. back to shore... TO SHORE... YEAH

Regardless of the Science and the reason
I know the waters shelter many beasts
Walk my daughter through the Tijuana market
To get a glimpse of monsters lying in wait for me

I know
I know
I know they're underneath the sea
I know
I know
They'll never let me be

I say hey. hey Brother Michael
Still frightend by the might oceans roar
I say hey Brother Michael
Wont you lead me safely.right

I say Hey. hey Brother Michael
Well I don't wanna stand here so ashamed no more
Hey Brother Michael
Wont you lead me safely.
Won't you lead me safely.

I say hey. hey Brother Michael
Well I know there still up there keepin score
Hey Brother Michael
Wont you lead me safely.

I say hey. hey Brother Michael
I say hey. hey Brother Michael
Wont you lead me safely.
Wont you lead me safely.
Wont you lead me safely.
Back to shore... TO SHORE
Right on
Back to Shore
