Nautilius Lyrics

Boy, you should have been a sailor
You should have learnt to tie better knots
You could have held your tongue, kept your vow of silence
You know, the one you so easily forgot
And what do you say to that?
I've got nothing

But what do we do at the end of the line?
Where is 'eyes close'? Where is 'pretend is fine'?
Where is 'holed up in middle of May'?
Faking like we've clever words to say

And I had a dream I was ten fathoms down
Underneath the same town you grew up in
What do you say to that, girl analyst,
World famous pan-handling altruist?

"If your songs are so full of the sea", she said,
"Maybe I just won't see you again"
Girl, how your wits grow thin, I don't know where to begin
'Cause I'm no longer fond of the mess

My soul got heavy now so I carry a life (?)
Lucky for you, you never could've stood the weight
