lyrics

We saw it coming from miles away
We felt the thunder, and we smelled the rain
Oh how it came like the lion and lamb
In shame we hid our wrinkles and scars in a skin
And joined up the dots, tracing new places with old myths from far off
With fine quills from China and India ink
When the storm broke, in spirals in gutters and sinks
Down the drain went the story that we wrote
Down with our paperhat loveboat

Alone in a room on the far side of town
I'm still breathing, but I feel it pulling me down
And all that I'm asking for is a miniature casket
To keep me afloat until somebody saves me
Or to bury my heart in at the bottom of the sea
In the half-sunken submarine painted in lavendar
In the bowl on the nightstand by the cheap kitten calendar
Red marker life-raft saving the day
Come April, babe, we'll be sailing away
If the rainshadow favors the north coast
Away in our paperhat loveboat
Paperhat loveboat sailing away, paperhat love boat sailing away
Paperhat loveboat sailing away
