#11 THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
JONNY
I WAS ROTTING IN A WATERY GRAVE,
LYING IN MY COFFIN BELOW,
WHEN I HEARD A VOICE FROM UP ABOVE
SAYING "JONNY, I LOVE YOU SO!
HEY, JONNY, I LOVE YOU SO!"
I WAS HAPPY IN A WEIRD SORTA WAY,
THINKIN' IT'S A GOOD WAY TO GO.
BUT I COULDN'T SHAKE THAT VOICE I HEARD
SAYING, "JONNY, I LOVE YOU SO!
JONNY, I LOVE YOU SO!"
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
THAT CALLED THROUGH THE BLACK,
THAT VOICE TOLD ME, "JONNY,
IT'S TIME TO COME BACK."
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
SAID, "THAT'S WHAT YOU DO."
AND I KNEW THAT THE VOICE,
YES, IT'S TRUE THAT THE VOICE
WAS YOU.
TOFFEE
ARE YOU TELLING ME THE TEARS THAT I SHED
TOUCHED YOU IN THE SEA FROM ABOVE?
ARE YOU SAYING, JONNY, THAT YOU'VE BEEN
BROUGHT BACK BY THE POW'R OF LOVE?
BROUGHT BACK BY THE POW'R OF LOVE?
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
THAT RANG IN YOUR HEAD,
THAT SANG THROUGH AND GOT YOU
TO RISE FROM THE DEAD,
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
THAT CALLED THROUGH THE SEA,
OH, YOU KNEW THAT THE VOICE,
YES, IT'S TRUE THAT THE VOICE
WAS ME.
BOTH
HOW, HOW DID THIS COME TO PASS?
HOW, HOW COULD WE KNOW?
I FEEL THIS YEN
TO TRY AGAIN,
BUT OH --
HOW DO WE START...?
JONNY
NOW THAT DEATH HAS BLOWN US FARTHER APART?
TOFFEE
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
THAT RANG IN YOUR HEAD,
THAT SANG THROUGH AND GOT YOU
TO RISE FROM THE DEAD,
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
THAT CALLED THROUGH THE SEA,
OH, YOU KNEW THAT THE VOICE,
YES, IT'S TRUE THAT THE VOICE
WAS ME.
OH, IT WAS ME.
IT WAS ME.
IT WAS ME.

JONNY
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN,
RANG IN MY HEAD...
RISE FROM THE DEAD,
THE VOICE IN THE OCEAN
THAT CALLED THROUGH THE SEA,
YES, I KNEW THAT THE VOICE,
YES, IT'S TRUE THAT THE VOICE YES,
WAS YOU.
OH, IT WAS YOU.
OH, IT WAS YOU.
IT WAS YOU.
