Lyrics
I get so bored in this dried-up town, I can’t help but think
Some day or other with honeyed words, I’ll flood it - watch it sink
The problem is of pleasure, we’ll drown in an ocean of flies
I’m getting buried on an alien beach, I’m kissing shepherds like a socialite leech
I’m making friends but God I’m feeling sick from the heat tonight
I got the feeling that I’m falling in love, I got the feeling that it’s just not enough
I got the feeling that I’m gonna go to sea on the tide and die
Ocean wake your sleeper I can’t breathe air (no one knows) and I can’t swim – it’s good to be alive (no one knows at all)
Halo hopes and weeping, we can’t stay here (no one knows) but we can’t leave, it’s good to be alive
It’s good to be alive
There’s broken hammers buried under gravel, I can’t make believe
Some time or other in the Library of Babel, we’ll kiss until we can’t grieve
Poetry won’t dare to linger, we’ll drown in an ocean of swine
I’m making friends, O God I promise – saying yes! Every time
I got the feeling that I’m falling in love, I got my shadow from a withering sun
I got the feeling that I’m gonna go to sea on the tide, don’t cry
Ocean wake your sleeper I can’t breathe air (no one knows) and I can’t swim – it’s good to be alive (no one knows at all)
Halo hopes and weeping, we can’t stay here (no one knows) but we can’t leave
It’s good to be alive (no one knows it)
Oh sea creature, I can’t breathe air- I’ll see you in the light seeing me on the tide
Oh deep sleeper, I can’t dream here – I’ll see you in the light seeing me wave goodbye
No one knows
No one knows it
I can’t believe I’m floating with lungs that will not open (no one knows) as I sleep down here
(no one knows at all)
I can’t believe I’m hoping that the heat of Summer’s closing
(no one knows), as I dream down here
