A cannonball shot to bits my bedroom wall
Said "Don't be such a know-it-all"
And left me with the moon.
Alcohol, guns, and dressings down the hall
A fire-pistol on the wall
I'm going to need it soon.
Crazy, I'm so crazy
Crazy, don't think me --
I often am, often not
Feeling floors getting hot
Providence, you've shown me foul temperaments
Until I've had enough of it
I'm going to fetch the moon.
Summer rain reminding me of ankle pain
Twisting words and more again
It's going to leave me on a sprain
It's going to leave me soon.
Watch the strange dove
It's all I've heard of
Serenades shower from your mum's champagne
Read again the whiskey grain
I'm going to love you just the same
I'm going to love you soon.
Watch the strange dove
It's all I've heard of
I'm out of sorts, love
It's all I've heard of
Striking matches
Till one catches.
Morning bells fill my head like oyster shells
Whispering "The oceans swells,
It's going to reach you"
I know it's going to reach me
I know it's going to drown me soon.
