Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney - The End Of You lyrics

rate me

Build for me your tightest ship

make the oars run swift and fast.

Send me out your strongest crew

make their hearts and minds steadfast,

Bless me with Athena

there's no meaner, she's the best.

For when we hit the roughest seas

we'll need all we can get.

You say "sink or swim"

what a cruel, cruel phrase

I'd rather fly

don't want to be caught in this endless race

The first beast that will appear

will entice us with money and fame.

If you listen long enough

you'll forget there's anything else.

Tie me to the mast

of this ship and of this band.

Tie me to the greater things

the people that I love.

You can walk the plank

do the dead mans float

Never let them see

your heart is pounding full of hope.

Let the last storm hit us

let it strike at the hardest part.

Turn us all to mutiny

turn this boat upside down.

I am not the captain

I am just another fan.

Sailing off the edge of truth

into the end of you.

Eye of the storm

what a cruel, cruel myth

There's no bigger spotlight

than shown on the ones brave enough to live.

The end of you, end of you, end of you,

I've been looking for you

The end of you, end of you, end of you,

I've been looking for you
