Wipe Out Lyrics - New Model Army

This is where we go to - to the blue of the ocean 

On the 30 westbound to the diamond water 

Lost out in the white waves - salt purification 

Bright eyes and breathless - this is how Love feels 

Wash away the black stuff, wash away the road-dirt 

In the thrill of the wipe-out, feel it pulling you under 

This is where it saved your life in the days of the new beginning 

All the sweet redemption lines that you wrote and told a thousand times 

This is where we go to - to the blue of the ocean 

On the 30 westbound to the diamond water 

On the back-lanes down to the sea we pulled to the side of the road 

Danced together in the headlights beam to the songs on the radio 

Cheek to cheek . . . 

We're up on the cliff tops as the dusk falls and the wind drops down, 

the last of the light fading in the sky out to the west; 

and far out to sea, the water glows iridescent, perfect, like a promise 

of warm water in the shallows, cold water out in the deep, 

splashing on my face and rolling over, over, over . . .
