Ships in the Night

Summer passed by before I could bat an eye Tequila sunsets and bleak sunrises There's no more long days now, no more prize fighting I'll even cut down on the drinking, just please no more surprises I see her wave to me, covered it from A to Z With a look so heavenly, that she's no longer giving me Ships pass by outside the window in my room They only know where they've been, and where they're going to They pass so mightily, steady in their gaze They pass by each other without so much as a wave Ships in the night are we, convinced we're gonna be Reunited come the day Hey, my brother, how you been? While I've been blinded by my own Worries and stories and this sense that I'm alone Heaven zips by a million more ships in the night And a trillion tons of gases from a billion silly asses And I still pray for the masses as we fight the bloody fight But bodies cannot stop these jacked up, gakked up ships in the night And I reach out in the darkness for somebody I might hold I reach out to the cosmos by staring at my phone I reach a state of ecstasy, I return to despair I remain educated, well-informed, and unaware But my sister, my sister, I swear that I am good Reach your arms around me, and tell me that I'm understood I can't believe the things for which I'm forced to take a stand I can't believe that I'm the problem, not the plan I can't believe that we elected that man Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can Ships in the night are we, miss each other entirely From cradle to the grave without so much as a wave And my, my, hey, hey, looks like the sky is falling down No it's, it's my time, it's your time, it's all just comin' 'round Run up the mountain and hide out while you can There's a storm comin' full of lonely disaffected angry men And father time knows the way, the cancer grows inside of me And who will hold my hand when I'm in my final bed When ships in the night are we Ships in the night are we Miss each other entirely Ships in the night are we Someone shine your light on me Someone shine your light on me Ships in the night are we
