Oil Rig Tourist

Lyrics

Verse 1
Boots on the deck, salt on my teeth
Sun on the waves, death underneath
Blue card in my pocket, cheap little prayer
Thought it was loot, found a coffin up there

Heli in the sky like a judgement eye
I waved like a tourist, then I learned why
One shot from the rail, one burst from the top
Now my whole squad froze when the footsteps stopped

Pre-Chorus
I heard that crack
Then the world went black
I kept pushing on
Should've turned back

Chorus
Oil Rig Tourist
Went for the blue card
Oil Rig Tourist
Came back in a bag
Oil Rig Tourist
Say it real clear
Oil Rig Tourist
You don't belong here

Verse 2
Red card dreams and a cheap hard hat
Full inventory, yeah I came in fat
Found a locked room, found a little glow
Found a whole lotta grief with nowhere to go

Sniper on the catwalk, mask in the mist
One wrong peek and you get dismissed
I crawled past crates with my heart in my throat
Trying to swim for the ladder on a busted boat

Pre-Chorus
I heard that crack
Then the world went black
I kept pushing on
Should've turned back

Chorus
Oil Rig Tourist
Went for the blue card
Oil Rig Tourist
Came back in a bag
Oil Rig Tourist
Say it real clear
Oil Rig Tourist
You don't belong here

Bridge
No souvenir, just a body bag
No victory pose, just a lagged-out drag
Wave to the shore, let the gulls still sing
I was rich for a second, then I lost everything

Breakdown
Ha!
Dive, duck, drop
Ha!
Still got shot
Ha!
Blue card call
Ha!
Down I fall

Final Chorus
Oil Rig Tourist
Went for the blue card
Oil Rig Tourist
Came back in a bag
Oil Rig Tourist
Say it real clear
Oil Rig Tourist
You don't belong here

Oil Rig Tourist
Went for the blue card
Oil Rig Tourist
Came back in a bag
Oil Rig Tourist
I should've known better
Oil Rig Tourist
A dead man with leather
