Jenny & Johnny Big Wave
[Verse 1: Jenny Lewis]
Living your life in the gray
Is the new American way
We're spending what we haven't made
And we save our money in good faith
And we work hard for our living wage
But still, the bank's gotta break
[Pre-Chorus: Jenny Lewis]
'Cause the dream's a lie
And the snake, it bit you
When you were awake
And the books are fried
You are bankrupted because
All the loans you take
[Chorus: Jenny Lewis & Johnathan Rice]
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
[Verse 2: Jenny Lewis]
I can't sleep these days
And my blues, they won't go away
So there are these little pills I been takin'
And my doctor, she says that they're safe
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake
And wakin' up in the water
[Pre-Chorus: Jenny Lewis]
And the feeling's alright
But the snake, it bit me
When I wasn't awake
And the scripts, they lie
I have been poisoned from
All the things I take
[Chorus: Jenny Lewis & Johnathan Rice]
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave
It's gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
[Post-Chorus: Jenny Lewis]
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
[Bridge: Jenny Lewis & Johnathan Rice]
I know you feel deprived
You don't trust me
Our love is still alive
You never touch me
It's really just that I don't
Feel like it much these days
[Pre-Chorus: Jenny Lewis]
And our love's a lie
'Cause the snake, he visits me
When you are away
And your dreams don't lie
I've been corrupted 'cause
All the lovers I take
[Chorus: Jenny Lewis & Johnathan Rice]
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave
You're gonna hit me with a big wave
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave, do-do-do
Big wave
It's gonna hit you with a big wave
