Destroyer - Watercolours into the Ocean lyrics

Listening to Strawberry Wine
For the 131st time
It was 1987 and it was spring
It's 1987 all the time
Now it's 1987 all the time
Were you even there? Too thin too fair
Downing your third drink
Standing at arm's length in the square
Just off a mildly successful
Killing rampage where good writers go
To find one thing and stick with it

Oh life is bigger
Than a life on the run
From the united states and her friends
On this night made of jewels

It took three carabinieri
To peel em off the streets of the town
She's named after
Dragging the lagoon was a disaster
They found him alive and relatively well

Well some situations seek redressing
Some songs just go testing, testing
I took a picture i was sick of motion

And wore her watercolours into the ocean
And wore her watercolours into the ocean
