Dead In The Water - Status Quo

She’s got to run, she’s got to hide

She’s got her head stuck in a sand dune

She never thinks, she never tries

She doesn’t see that she’s gonna pull through

She used to laugh, she used to cry

She used to play hot as the others

She used to fool, she used to fight

She loved a wind-up on a Saturday night

Don’t you break down, dead in the water

Don’t you leave town now, though you wanna

Don’t you break down, dead in the water

Dead in the water

He is the one, he has the smile

Keeping his cool across the dance floor

He moves around, he moves away

They move together the rest of the night

He hits the spot, she fits the bill

He tries it on, maybe she wants to

He books a room, a takeaway

Is this the answer to all of their problems?

Don’t you break down, dead in the water

Don’t you leave town now, though you wanna

Don’t you break down, down in the water

The longest day must end, but that’s another time

Perhaps another life, we may be here again

The longest day must end, we take it as we find

But if we never try we may be here again

The longest day must end, we take it as we find

But if we never try we may be here again

She’s waking up, she’s in a dream

The world is gone, left her to wonder

Did it begin?

When will it end?

She can’t believe that it didn’t come true

She needs to laugh, she needs to cry

She needs to play hot as the others

She used to fool, she used to fight

She loved a wind-up on a Saturday night

Don’t you break down dead in the water

Don’t you leave town now though you wanna

Don’t you break down

Dead in the water

Dead in the water
