lyrics

Your mouth is a cannon, dear/ And you sink my battleship/ Your verbal cannonballs ricochet against the walls when I’m trying to make sense/ And you say you’re not a sailor ‘til you’ve been through the scuttle in the puddle to find a back door/ Yeah, that’s right babe, I can sink this ship/ We can settle this shit on the ocean floor/ So don’t even bother trying to explain why these sirens at the bar keep calling our names/ keep us warm for the night/ready for the fight/ they keeps us looking for those rescue lights/ And this sea is a hungry dog with waves of canine teeth/ It’ll break a man apart, starting with his heart/ And bring him down to his knees/ We used to have a sense of security/ When we had a good sense of doubt/ Looking in the mirror, just to see a bit clearer but we never quite figured it out/ And these songs that we sing, if they mean anything/ We’d know just when to drop the ball and sink/For those at sea
