If Work Permits |
So the wind that blows across your room |
Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser |
It rained for jewelry and for credit cards |
Two tickets to a film I don’t remember |
One day you’ll kiss your rabbits nose, pick up the phone |
To find I’ve been turned over |
And you’ll grab that piece of gold |
Only to find that the smell has taken over |
Now all the things you had, they aren’t the same… |
As what you hold |
I’m standing in a room, |
It’s filled with older folks pleading «baby listen» |
And I scream as loud as anyone, |
But when asked to make a point I tend to whisper |
Now highways turn to tidal waves |
They’re asking me to export all of your insecurities |
But that wind that blows across your room |
It’s gonna set the sails, and send me back to you |
Sometimes, when sailors are sailing |
They think twice, about where they’re anchoring |
And I think, I could make better use of my time on land |
I’ll drink less |
'cause lord knows I could use a warm kiss |
Instead of a cold goodbye |
I’m writing the folks back home to tell them |
«Hey I’m doing alright» |
It’s a shame what your father did to your brothers head |
He smashed it with a telephone |
And your mother got scared and locked the door |
You were only four, but lord you remember it |
So now you’re scared of love |
I’m here to tell you loves not some fucking blood on the receiver |
Love is speaking in code |
It’s an inside joke |
Love is coming home |
Sometimes, when sailors are sailing |
They think twice, about where they’re anchoring |
And I think, I could make better use of my time on land |
I’ll drink less |
'cause lord knows I could use a warm kiss |
Instead of a cold goodbye |
I’m writing the folks back home to tell them |
«Hey I’m doing alright» |
Yeah I’m doing just fine |
And if she seems as lonely as me… |
Let her sink. |
Let her sink. |
Let her |
