lyrics

Well the faces glow dim standing right on the bus
In hand, cigarettes and coffee mugs
Their faces are looking addled with the dream you know they do not mean.

Please God
Don’t make me be lost at sea, waiting for me.
A landlubber on the grand steps.
What’s left and coming up next?

Cause when the waves start crashing and a thick fog rolls in
Your sleeves rolled up and your tongue half drooling
There ain’t no one you’re fooling but yourself
With a gum job on the boat floor
Why you acting so damn tough for?

Yes I’d say the ship sailed yesterday
For a twelve dollar bottle of your finest Sunday praise
And your face cast iron wind towards the breeze
We’re in the last dying freeze

And you rattle out for just a little more
Please that old dream oh it died dead, before it dropped born,
And now you’re castrating children with your loathsome scorn.

Cause in the land of the great U, S, and A you’re not fooling least of all me.
But I caught myself hanging on to the one-eyed shrew of the bleeding dollar bill.

Cause when the waves start crashing and a thick fog rolls in
Your sleeves rolled up and your tongue half drooling
There ain’t no one you’re fooling but yourself
With a gum job on the boat floor
Why you acting so damn tough for?
