[Verse 1]
I guess I like my job just fine
Taking orders, pouring wine
Yet inside, I am so unsure
'Cause I long to be so much more
When I get home from work at night
I read up on the New York Times
Doze off in my computer screen
And pray it's all a crazy dream

[Chorus]
Through all the noise
She's the anchor that is keeping me sound
Oh, my mind's a ship that's going down

[Verse 2]
I saw big tall mountains of green
On the cover of a magazine
And thought to myself with a smile
"I think I'll go there for a while"
So I boarded a big jet plane
Left my problems in the USA
Had a lovely time in Ecuador
Now I'm right back where I was before

[Chorus]
Through all the noise
She's the anchor that is keeping me sound
Oh, my mind's a ship that's going down
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Bridge]
Oh, Hollywood has stole my soul
Those city lights swallow me whole
She's nothing like the models on the screen
No, she's the realest thing I've ever seen

[Chorus]
Through all the noise
Love's the only thing that matters anyhow
Oh, my mind's a ship that's going down
Oh, my mind's a ship that's going down
Oh, my mind's a ship that's going down
