Another Dash, Cash and Splash
Fools for jewels.
Johnny and I are cruising on a yacht
We look like we belong but we do not
We’ve been chasing treasure since we first met
The thrill keeps us going and we haven’t lost yet
Now we’ve escalated to a dangerous new height
Moving among some criminals on a starry night
Below the deck is a safe filled with jewels
I have the combination and Johnny has the tools
The ship set sail before the job was done
Our plan is to lay low and avoid everyone
There’s a party going on with lots of excess
If I didn’t know better I’d be very impressed
There are rooms filled with laughter and bands play
As I sit and watch the action, I get carried away
I’m transported back to times Johnny and I dance
We come together whenever we get a chance
Our bodies meld to become perfectly one
Everything fades into the background of our fun
A tug on my arm brings me out of my fantasy
Johnny nods towards the bar so we’ll join the revelry
Our plan changed with two glasses of champagne
We’re now mingling, playing a cat and mouse game
Mixing in while waiting to get out on the deck
Taking our chances here is making me a wreck
We weave through the crowd and slip out the door
No one notices as we crouch near the floor
Johnny is going down to finish what we started
It will be a flash if he follows what we charted
I’m on the lookout but someone grabs me
The next thing I know I’m tossed into the sea
The water is warm but gives me a shock
As I sputter to the surface I grab a floating block
I see the yacht motoring away and I’m left behind
The water and sky become indistinguishable in my mind
I’m in the middle of the ocean and can’t see the shore
After floating for hours I can’t take much more
Everything in the water makes me want to scream
My mind starts to play tricks like I’m in a dream
I see Johnny’s handsome face hovering above
I feel comforted thinking about him and his love
As the sun rises I’ve perfected the deadman’s float
When I look up, out on the horizon, I see a boat
It doesn’t seem real after surviving the night
But the boat turns my way so I see the light
I’m able to wave and but have no energy to swim
As the boat gets closer I think I see him
But is this real or just a figment of my imagination
I can’t hold on and lose control of the situation
My world has gone silent and black
As I sink towards the bottom I’m pulled back
I open my eyes and I see my favorite face
I can’t comprehend how he’s in this place
Johnny starts to cry when he sees I’m alive
He saw me go over and didn’t think I’d survive
He was able to mark where I went over the rail
When he got to shore he knew he couldn’t fail
Able to use the phone GPS to map a search plan
He secured a speedboat and hurried to where it began
Desperately searching he had almost lost all hope
He spotted me just as he reached the end of his rope
When he saw me go under it was a devastating blow
And now that we are together he will never let me go
Oh, and there’s something else that Johnny needs to tell
Not only did he find me, he found the jewels as well
So once again it looks like we’ve come out on top
This means chasing down adventures is never going to stop
