Close your eyes
When the water's not shaking, you're fine
Hold your breath
Let the current rip into your chest
And in a crash, toppling and tumbling you'll go
Quay softly splayed as you shatter your throat
Let me know if you could get home alone
And i'll ship out to dock with a tag and a tow
While you listen to the spinning shallow wash below
And stand to bear the colors that you ought to
No longer keep in your coat
After all, you'll have to face the fact
That no one ever wants to make it back
To Davenport, where all the waves'll crash
With cigarettes and drifts of vacant ash
I hope that you could see the sunken boat
That bounded, bobs along the ocean floor
Don't lose yourself under the salty tow
With winterweed and wounded pictureshow
Listen to the spinning shallow wash below
And stand to bear the colors that you ought to
No longer keep in your coat
Whale bones block away all the light from the sky
Wild moans break from patterns that push you to die
Whale bones block away all the light from the sky
Wild moans break from patterns that push you to die
Westcliff Road
Close your eyes
When the water's not shaking, you're fine
