Maria thinks this life has been quite fair
Though the rape is something she can hardly bear
As long as we get by we don't ask why
As long as we get high we don't ask why
Frances thinks there's someone up above
Who cares for him and sends all the love
As long as we get by we don't ask why
When the pain kicks in we can't stop asking why
Uh we all come from the sea
And we keep running back to it
The tide is free, you see
Karen loves to build castles in the sand
She knows nobody ever understands
But as long as we get by we don't ask why
And as long as we get high we don't ask why
Uh we all come from the sea
And we keep running back to it
The tide is free, you see
