lyrics

Please don't stop me
I don't know what's happening here
heady conversation and it still isn't clear
there's a pool of ice melting in the yard
we called the cops but they ain't looking very hard
Desperation creeps in like a disease
over waterways and carried on the breeze
see the boats arriving under the sun
the same one that saw Sir Francis Drake sailing on
Please don't ever wonder why
the same things happen every time
you go and say
I know it well
that's just the luck of the sailor
In the forests hunters were shooting me down
like a unicorn or sasquatch running round
tell the suicide it was just a shot of the dark
the same one that got Tom Kennedy straight through the heart
Please don't ever ask them why
the same thing happens every time
you go and say
I know it well
that's just the luck of the sailor
