Hoodoo Gurus - Death-Defying Lyrics

Ever since the world began, owee
Men have sailed to foreign lands, owee
And the fortunes that they've found, owee
Is now buried in the ground, owee

Some would say the ocean roars, owee
As it stumbles to the shore, owee
But to me it only sings, owee
Of the sorrow that it brings, owee

All my friends are dead or they're dying
And our laughter turns into crying
It's death-defying

Well, I barely learned to swim, owee
Just enough to save my skin, owee
Now I'll never sail alone, owee
And my harbor is my home, owee

All my friends are dead or they're dying
And our laughter turns into crying
It's death-defying, hey, hey, hey

If there's one thing that I've learned, owee
It's the point of no return, owee
And if that's to be our fate, owee
Now's no time to hesitate, owee
Now's no time to hesitate, now's no time to hesitate
