Headstones
Headstones - All Of The Above lyrics
Your rating:
This is the tank that the taskmaster made This is the alligator Florida everglades This is the mess of material excess Stood up and strong like a full court like press And when the storm turns the deck to splinters And when the mast lies like snow in winter When the boat won’t float and you’re in the sea’s clutch That’s when I guarantee you that nothing never felt like so much We hold these truths for to be self-evident And anyone who isn’t with us wouldn’t understand We’re not intent on the fall of the government We’re not intent on the rise of the right hand To all of thee above us This is the worst thing that’s ever happened The captain’s screaming that he’s lost his wife and daughter His hull is breached his heart is broken The place he keeps his boots is underwater And if you checked here an hour ago They would have said everything is copasthetic But then the sea did a furious thing It’s funny how dreams can be so prophetic There was a time when this was calm in practice There was a time when any child could hack this There was a time when the people left singing Of the perils and the pendulum swinging Here’s anything to read to help with your thinking Here’s anything to hold to keep you from sinking Here’s two times the work in one half the time And everything you need is calcium lust and rhyme
