Let me off of this boat
I'm sick of this ride
The world is heading ever southward
And I can't stay in here
And you're lying awake
Away on your side
The feeling comes in waves and burns us
And I don't wanna die
From the slippery hands
To the line of your throat
The fever now consumes us both
In a fire now we will go
Santa Maria
Why did you have to go?
Santa Maria
One day we will know
In a bowing of heads and a passing of hands
And all we thought they'd understand
Is lost and they won't know
And what have we left?
It's all that we've got
There is no 'X' to mark our spot
What's past is done and gone
Santa Maria
Why did you have to burn?
Santa Maria
One day you will learn
Santa Maria
Why did you have to burn?
Santa Maria
One day you will learn
