Regan Troop Jan 2012
This ship is sinking
but we're floating in life savers
floating in the arms of sirens
This ship is sinking
but we're floating towards the land
floating in the arms of sirens

We knew it from the start
but just didn't have the heart
to make them walk the plank
after drawing a blank
when we asked them why

{Chorus}
This ship is sinking
but we're floating in life savers
floating in the arms of sirens
This ship is sinking
but we're floating towards the land
floating in the arms of sirens

Feeling the tentacles on my leg
they wrap around, pull and drown
all the hope I had sunk
to the deepest blue's ground

And all the shimmering light
at the water's surface
never looked so white
never felt so bright

{Chorus}
This ship is sinking
but we're floating in life savers
floating in the arms of sirens
This ship is sinking
but we're floating towards the land
floating in the arms of sirens

Falling, falling, falling!
Speed begins to pickup.
Falling, falling, falling!!
Hot and sticky.
Falling, falling, falling!!!
Hard to breath, lungs are being crushed.
Falling, falling, falling!!!!
On fire blazing into ash.
Falling, falling, falling!!!!!
Limbs one by one are being torn off.
Falling, falling, falling!!!!!!
Blood rapidly splatters the empty universe.
Falling, falling, falling!!!!!!!
The hallow screams can not be heard.
Falling, falling, falling!!!!!!!!
Faster and faster and faster!!!!!!!!!
Falling and falling and falling!!!!!!!!!!
Transforming into light!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating, floating.

A summers day ...we're floating and bloating ..you and i
we're bloating and a floating and waving as we cry ...
we're crying as we're floating and a cloud is passing by
I ask it "are you gloating ? " at my bloating friend and i ?

"Dear sir" replied the cloud that was a floating up on high
I see so many bloaters and so many as they try..
to understand the nature of a floater floating by ?
Is such a wonderous thing and now.. i bid you sir "goodbye" !

A moonlit night we're floating and bloating you and i
We pass the moon the stars all swoon.."good evening" as we cry..
And as we float the endless sky..and never knowing why ?
we're floating and a bloating ...floating you and i
