Menomena - BOTE lyrics

rate me

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now

I pray lord please help me right

This ship today

Cause I can't take much more

Of this strain on my battered hull.

I thought I was tough

I thought I was strong

Thought I could handle anyone who came along

Thought the worth of a boat

in how well it floats

And this old boat won't float for long with all these holes

So I grab both sides with iron will

It's fit for war but weighs too much and starts to fill

Now I'm clutching the sides as long as I can

It's much too cold to swim

And much too deep to stand.

When I started off down this path

I was well aware of the facts

And despite the proof I have vowed to choose

I continue bearing these (?)

I thought I was quick

as smart as a whip

I guess I met my match

But stiffen up, my lip.

My wit's getting weak

The sea's on the rise

And here I sit exposed

atop the lying side

I thought I was tough

I thought I was strong

But I can't stay aboard this sinking ship for long

I thought I was quick

Smart as a whip

I guess I met my match this time

I'll take my leave.

And when (?) comes to shore

And I feel like enough's enough

And despite the shit-storm that's pounding my home

I walk outside and set off.

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now
