Dire, Dire Docks

Well call me a sailor

Cause I'm floating away

And I'm drifting away

And you won't see my face at your door

Passed out on the floor

Or vomit in public

And embarrass your friends

That's me on the water

On my own little island

And you won't ever see me again

No I'm not coming back!

Well the moons gotten full

And the tides on the rise

And my heart is the driftwood lost long ago

Well the moons gotten full

And the tides on the rise

And my heart is the driftwood lost long ago

And thinking of you is like a shiver of sharks

That gnaw at the wood

And unhinge these nails

Of what's keeping me together

This salty water has been stained across my lips

And when I move in to forget you

She can taste you in our kiss

But suddenly

I'm struggling

To put my own two feet under me

This water's deep

And now I'm swallowing

These same tears that are following

Our footprints on the shore

This salty water!

This salty water

Some nights I still get seasick

But every night it still makes me sick

That the only reason I rest

Is my floating body

My hollowed out chest

Well call me a sailor

Cause I'm floating away

And I'm drifting away

And you won't see my face at your door

Passed out on the floor

Or vomit in public

And embarrass your friends
