Foals - A Knife In The Ocean lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

When I come to walk the line

The fire may come, but we'll be just fine

When I go to walk the line

The fire, it will come but we'll be just fine

(Verse)

Mouth of the ocean, be well spoken

Watch ur P's and Q's

Now that we're older, the future is colder

But what is there to do?

I'll walk the line, I'll be just fine

I'll be right back on time

The fire is comin', but we'll outrun it

We'll neva be undone

(Chorus)

What came of the things we once believed?

Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea

Oh, what came of the things we once believed?

Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea

(Verse 2)

And now our parents are long departed

Who can finish the songs they started?

Bodies are broken, but it's just a token

Of what is surely to come

Un-stitch the suture, please pause the future

So I can collect my things

The fire is comin', but we'll outrun it

We'll neva be undone

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

When I go to walk the line

The fire it comes, but I'll be just fine

(Chorus 2)

What came of the things we once believed?

Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea

Oh, all lost and, oh, all lost, to the depths of a hungry sea

Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea

(Outro)

All that's left, all that's left

Is the echo of a roarin' sea

Long gone, long gone

To the trace of a memory

What came of the things I once believed?

All that's left, all that's left

Is the trace of a memory
