"Ocean" (album _VU_ version)


	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the sea
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves crashing in

	Earth is a hollow hair
	Part of a bigger head
	It nearly drives me crazy
	In the many years
	They have small leprechauns
	We caught up all our actions

	And here comes the waves
	down by the shore
	Washing the eye of the land
	that has been

	Down by the sea, down by the sea
	Down by the sea, down by the sea

	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the shore
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves crashing in

	In sex or evil thoughts
	Fought off by selfish men
	It nearly drives me crazy
	I am a lazy son
	I never get things done
	Made of mostly ho-ho-holler

	But here comes the waves
	down by the shore
	Washing the eye of the land
	that has been

	Down by the sea, down by the sea
	Down by the sea, down by the sea

	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves

	"Ocean" (album _1969Live_ version)


	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the shore
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the sea

	Earth is a hollow hair 
	Part of a bigger head
	It nearly drives me crazy
	I am a lazy son
	I never get things done
	Mostly they ho-ho-ho

	But here comes the waves
	down by the shore
	Washing the eye of the land
	that has been

	Down by the sea, down by the sea
	Down by the sea, down by the sea

	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the shore
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the sea

	In sex or evil thoughts
	Fought off by selfish men
	It nearly drives me crazy
	I am a lazy son
	I never get things done
	Mostly they ho-ho-holler

	But here comes the waves
	down by the shore
	Washing the eye of the land
	that has been

	Down by the sea
	Down by the sea

	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves

	"Ocean" (album _Lou Reed_ (1st.solo) version)


	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the sea
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves where've they been?

	Don't swim tonight my love
	The sea is mad my love
	It's known to drive men crazy
	Now come that murder seeks
	The castle is dead and reeks
	The madness can make you lazy

	Here come the waves
	down by the shore
	Washing the rocks that have been here
	centuries or more

	Down by the sea

	Here come the ocean
	and the waves down by the sea
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves where've they been?

	Castles glowing at night
	Towers above out fright
	What did happen here
	Now comes it in my head
	I serve you bread on a pledge
	Think of your mouth for dinner

	But here come the waves
	down by the sea
	Washing the eyes of the men
	who have died

	Down by the sea

	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves

	"Ocean" (box set _Peel Slowly And See_ version)


	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the sea
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves where have they been

	Silver and black-lit night
	Hiss to a stealer's night
	That empty splendid castle
	Glowering a lonely night
	The princess has had a fright
	Madness seeks out the lover

	And here come the waves
	Down by he shore
	Washing the soul of the body
	That comes form the depths of the sea

	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves down by the sea
	Here comes the ocean
	and the waves where have they been

	Don't swim tonight my love
	The tide is out my love
	Malcom's curse haunts our family
	Oh, yes, loudly witch
	Ruler of filthy seas
	Revel and heaven's justice

	And here come the waves
	And safe for a scream
	There's much like a sound to be heard
	In the wind that blows by the sea
	Like the wind

	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
	Here come the waves
