Offshore Songtext
von Plattenbau

Offshore
On a distant archipelago
Your ship sets sail
Unaware
Of the rapidly approaching
Raging southern wind
There′s laughter on the breeze
Light conversation
And the sizzle of champagne
Look into the distance


The island people are waving
How quaint
Little do you know
It's their final warning
Letting you know
That they know
How to catch a shark
Catch a shark
With a fishnet
These images are forming

Like visions in the sunset
How to catch a shark
Catch a shark
With a fishnet
I′m dreaming up
These beautiful visions
In the sunset
Now your high
Starts to wear off
And you wonder why


The sunset resembles
Your bloodshot eyes
And your empty heart sinks
Like the sky
Black as deep as the ocean
The hull is busted open
Losing control off the cape
In boiling waters
Watching your precious treasure
Sinking with the shipwreck

Dive down
Dive down in your death dance
But the island people
Are reeling you in
To lead you to the gallows
Gulls on the gallows
Laughing at your fortune
Priceless treasure
Sinking with the shipwreck
Gulls on the gallows

Laughing at your fortune
All your net worth
Sinking with the shipwreck
I said
When i catch a shark
Catch a shark
With a fishnet
I start dreaming
Of a beautiful shipwreck
In the sunset

I said
When i catch a shark
Catch a shark
With a fishnet
I start dreaming
Of a beautiful shipwreck
In the sunset
I said
When i catch a shark
Catch a shark

With a fishnet
I start dreaming
Of a beautiful shipwreck
In the sunset
I said
When i catch a shark
Catch a shark
With a fishnet
I start dreaming
Of a beautiful shipwreck

In the sunset
