lyrics

Feel the waves gonna come crashing,
may tip your boat.
She don't listen to the ocean,
she just hugs that shore,
scared of broken bones and how they might find her.

I don't know why they're feeding the fire.
I don't know what I'm feeling or why but I know,
As sure as boots on the floor,
I aint marching for no war.

She don't listen any more
To the people on the street
She just hunkers down in instinct


Stop pickin' at that old dead skin.
It's my fortress, thats why I guard it.
Oh see them ghosts on T.V ,
Slitting their own throats, with nothing coming out,
but confetti and bank notes.
I don't know what we're fighting for,
I don't know what we're fighting for but I know,
any night you want,
I'll meet you on that shore..
With my bones and my cup.

She don't listen any more
To the people on the street
She just hunkers down in instinct
See them broken eyes, trying to cry out of the river,
and enough aboout being oh so old.
She don't listen any more
To the people on the street
She just hunkers down in instinct.
Oh instinct, I don't feel.


I don't feel like much,
but I feel like drinking.
I feel I'm gonna break you down,
and I feel I'm gonna break you down.
