lyrics

The ship was once full, I guess
With dry leaves and cigarettes
Waiting for sparks from
The mouths of the sailor boys
With brown teeth and cheap decoys
Living in parallel lives

The wind blew the salt to eyes
Blinding old alibis
Of dolphins and mermaids
Who swam around topless
With daggers in pockets
For hearts when too tired to fight

Oh, the stops and the starts
Oh, the privatest parts

Swimming down under
With no loot to plunder
But shipwrecked souls
Gone too far from their shanties
Built with home-hearted fir trees
And shit-bricks and tenuous lies

Come swim in my ocean
Filled with crude oil and potions
To help you forget
And we'll sink deep together
In seaweedy tethers
For lusty injections and crimes

Oh, you delicate hearts
Oh, this deceptive art

Grab rope lengths and hatchets
And bulletproof jackets – you're dead!
Swim with your swollen feet
To love-making coral reef beds
Stop with the stalling
The beauties are calling you down
Come on you ocean boys
Make your own drowning noise now!
