Somewhere in this sea of Club Milks
|
Tea and ashtrays
|
There is a song
|
I'm in the crow's nest with binoculars
|
Just waiting for one to come along
|
I've seen the flare so I know it's there
|
It has me tied up at a rate of knots
|
No navigation, global position
|
Just me and this midnight oil
|
|
So take me to your king
|
I hear he's the man to see
|
And I will cross his palm
|
|
My first born for a song
|
|
Somewhere in this froth
|
And howling wind
|
There's something worth singing
|
Climb into the attic to write me a classic
|
But it's not happening
|
It's just Christmas up here
|
Between the phone calls
|
And text messages
|
The air must be thick with words
|
But not between us
|
Shoulder to grindstone
|
Switching to manual
|
Keep the head down
|
And I'll see you at the end
|
|
So take me to your king
|
I hear he's the man to see
|
And I will cross his palm
|
