Pour a drink until the ocean
Drowns you
Pour it on until the land
Is closing

Around you
To see if you're lonely
Old and slow
Land ho

Then get closer in
Pretend it's foolproof
Why should I buy
What I can always steal
Should I lie to you?

And show me
Show me the castle

If the time the sky passes
Will I still be with you?
Help me out

If by chance misfortune finds
Mercy in the clouds
I'll be the idiot seed
All packed for ship
Short lives are scrambling
For one more energizing joke
I am the idiot seed
Shedding a coat for blowing
No worse for wear

[Instrumental Break]

But that is not
The reason that I called you
Pacing's better in the nighttime
And I skirt the issue in the day time
Around you
Not knowing why
