By Air or by Sea Songtext
von Cult With No Name

Far ′cross the sea, where some mob waits for me
I row against the waves while the tide marks the days
And I'm reaching for ground
It′s nowhere I've found

I paid you for this seat, not first class, more discreet
Won't see land here again, so wave to me from your plane
As you fly on ahead
To the safety of it

And by air or by sea
You never know what′s coming
′Cos The General's still free
Somewhere out there he′s running, outgunning


Far 'cross the clouds, where the smuggling′s above ground
Private jets stream across the terrain where I was lost
And I'm floating away
While you hand back your tray

And by air or by sea
You don′t need your papers
'Cos The General's still free
Between Khartoum and Naples.

Not coming home
Not coming home

And by air or by sea
You don′t need your papers
And by air or by sea
The General won′t save us
And by air or by sea
You're sure to forget us
And by air or by sea
You will soon regret us
