lyrics

When I talked to the Triton,
He told me to get some sleep.
Gold rings on two tongs
- he speaks through magazines
It was motivation,
not words which bubbled out
That's how the ship goes down.

It was not a wedding
Was not a baby shower
In bloom like a Lilly
Had no need for flowers
Some kind of convergence
Of West and level coast
She caught a wave like a mermaid
Sunsets suck the most.

When I talked to the Triton
He told me to get some sleep
Gold rings on two tongs
- he speaks through magazines.
Always motivation,
not words which bubble out
That's how the ship goes down.
That's how the shit goes down.

Why are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
Why are you flying?
What are you diving for?

I don't know, tortures tug
'til you're bent on wanderlust.
Spin the wheel well for fortune,
Bet's on Black or Bust.
Whether pronged-fork or tongue
From every winded, gusty mouth,
Don't let em blow you south.

It was not a wedding,
was not a baby shower
In bloom like a Lilly,
had no need for flowers,
Some kind of convergence
of west and level coast.
She caught a wave like a mermaid,
sunsets suck the most.

That's how the ship goes down
Sometimes it don't work out
That's how the shit goes down
Don't let it blow you south.
