Little Empty Boat |
You found me at some party |
You thought I’d understand |
You barreled over to me |
With a drink in each hand |
I respect your beliefs, girl, |
And I consider you a friend, |
But I’ve already been born once, |
I don’t wanna to be born again. |
Your knowledge is impressive |
And your argument is good |
But I am the resurrection, babe, |
And you’re standing on my foot! |
But my little boat is empty |
It don’t go |
And my oar is broken |
It don’t row, row, row |
But my little boat is empty |
It don’t go |
And my oar is broken |
It don’t row, row, row |
(row!) |
Your tiny little face |
Keeps yapping in the gloom |
Seven steps behind me |
With your dustpan and broom. |
I couldn’t help but imagine you |
All postured and prone |
But there’s a little guy on my shoulder |
Says I should go home alone. |
You keep leaning in on me |
And you’re looking pretty pissed |
That grave you’ve dug between your legs |
Is hard to resist. |
But my little boat is empty |
It don’t go |
And my oar is broken |
It don’t row, row, row |
But my little boat is empty |
It don’t go |
And my oar is broken |
It don’t row, row, row |
Give to God what belongs to god |
And give the rest to me |
Tell our gracious host to fuck himself |
It’s time for us to leave. |
But my little boat is empty |
It don’t go |
And my oar is broken |
It don’t row, row, row |
But my little boat is empty |
It don’t go |
And my oar is broken |
It don’t row, row, row |
Row… row… row… row… |
