We are sinking with the ship The oars have gone to **** Now we only have four arms to row The sea's tide carry us from the landslide We sleep with the fishes tonight So just let the boat sink below
And I'm so high But Eleanor, would you mind? Talking to me like you've know me all your life And it's fine Eleanor, could you find Some of the orange warm light Or maybe make it mine
The brown ground is soft under our feet But sinks us into the street No branches to pull us out So our lungs leak air and swallow dust Now I know what must be done I have a feeling you do too
And I'm so high But Eleanor, would you mind? Talking to me like you've know me all your life And it's fine Eleanor, could you find Some of the orange warm light Or maybe make it mine
If you could try I hope you will sleep tonight But if you don't that's just fine Because you've got yours And I've got mine
