[Verse 1]

People standing, greeting, talking

People kissing, missing, whistling

[Chorus]

Have you ever been washed off the beach?

Have you ever been swept out of reach?

[Verse 2]

People walking, stalking, hawking

Vehicles parking, dogs are barking

[Chorus]

Have you ever been washed off the beach?

Have you ever been swept out of reach?

[Verse 3]

People shopping, buying, selling

People smoking, joking, hoping

[Chorus]

Have you ever been washed off the beach?

Have you ever been swept out of reach?

Have you ever been washed off the beach?

Have you ever been swept out of reach?

[Verse 4]

People praying, disappearing

CC cameras, knives and hammers

People sleeping, broken, beaten

People lying, homeless, dying
