I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
 Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain 
 With open doors and manual locks
 In fast food parking lots

 I headed West, I was a man on the move
 New York had lied to me, I needed the [bad word]  Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could [bad word]  I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

 Like the Dead Sea
 You told me I was like the Dead Sea
 You'll never sink when you are with me
 Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea

 Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
 The nicest words you ever said to me
 Honey can't you see, 
 I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

 You told me you were good [bad word] away
 Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
 You left with just the clothes on your back
 You took the rest when you took the map

 Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
 Your father died and you decided to live
 It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
 And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right

 Like the Dead Sea
 You told me I was like the Dead Sea
 You'll never sink when you are with me
 Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea 

 Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
 The finest words you ever said to me
 Honey can't you see
 I was born to be, be your dead sea

 I been down, I been defeated
 You're the message I was heeding
 Would you stay, 
 Would you stay the night? 

 Dead Sea, 
 Told me I was like the Dead Sea
 Never sink when you are with me
 Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

 Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
 The finest words you ever said to me
 No need to move your feet so quickly
 Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea
