Chris Is Dead lyrics

Summer day we're on our way
feeling good together beautiful place
Just me and my friends having fun
enjoying the sun
We are colours we're red and white
as my teenage skin was tanned
You were my father's fifth child
and your look was vintage and wild but now you're stuck in the sand
'cause it only took a couple of minutes
and all the fish had a new home
and I was feeling so alone
as I called my daddy on the phone
- though it only took a couple of days
until I could look into my father's eyes again
i got this feeling of shame in my head
this fact remains: Chris is dead
Well, anyway I was surfing on my board behind the boat
when I heard a big crash and suddenly
rocks and stones appeared from the water
and I was thinking
What are they doing here?
They're not supposed to be here. This can't be real.
And then my sister started screaming
Oh my God we're taking in water I've got water up to my knees
and the she picked up the - and she, she dialed 911
'cause she was in a shock
and I was too, you know
I didn't know what to do
'cause it only took a couple of minutes
and all the fish had a new home
and I was feeling so alone
as I called my daddy on the phone
- though it only took a couple of days
until I could look into my father's eyes again
i got this feeling of shame in my head
this fact remains: Chris is dead
Oh, Chris is dead
But look, you've got a new song
Yeah, but Chris is dead
But hey, you've got this new song
And the song, it wouldn't been made up
if I wouldn't have sinked that boat in the ocean
so when everything comes around I guess things are fine
I tell you, things are fine
yeah, things are fine
