(Adding a note regarding why it uses a mix name - it seems most likely that the two tracks were rejected from Violator (like Mother Me was) and were left out of the mixing session, then when the WIME single was being produced FK took them back to NYC and finished them off with his team)

"[[Sea Of Sin]]" is a song produced during the recording of 1990 album ''[[Violator]]'' by [[Depeche Mode]]. It was released as a B-side to the single "[[World In My Eyes]]" on 2 September 1990.
 
== Notes ==
The "Tonal Mix" is the original version of the song. Alan Friedman is credited for "additional production", which may suggest that the track underwent further changes by [[François Kevorkian]]'s team, hence the track was never released without a mix name.
 
{{Template:Lyrics|Sea Of Sin|
Sea of sin
 
I'm swimming in
 
And I'm taking a dive
 
My mind's in need
 
So my body feeds
 
And it keeps me alive
 
It gets better and better
 
As it gets wetter and wetter
 
 
Sea of sin
 
Know where you've been
 
But I don't care
 
 
Sea of sin
 
Through thick and thin
 
For better or worse
 
My mind's in need
 
So my body feeds
 
And it quenches my thirst
 
You look cheaper and cheaper
 
As we sink deeper and deeper
 
 
Sea of sin
 
Know where you've been
 
'Cause I've been there
 
 
Here under God's sky
 
His watchful eye
 
And all of the lies
 
My consolation prize
 
 
Sea of sin
 
My second skin
 
My home from home
 
When I'm in doubt
 
My hands reach out
 
And I'm never alone
 
It gets wetter and wetter
 
As it gets better and better
 
 
Sea of sin
 
Know where you've been
 
And I'm prepared
 
Sea of sin
 
Know where you've been
 
Yes I'm aware
 
Sea of sin
 
Know where you've been
 
'Cause I've been there
 
Sea of sin
 
Know where you've been
 
And I don't care
 
Sea of sin
 
Know where you've been
 
And I don't care
