Interpol - A Time to Be So Small lyrics

We saw you from the urchin's
Side from under the boat
We saw you making knots
We saw you get the rope
The boy appearing on the deck
You're making it lurch
The bubble of your interest's ready to burst

He whistles and he runs

We saw you in distraction, a sleeping
Slow despair
Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there
A creature is a creature though you
Wish you were the wind
The boat will not stop moving if you
Tie him up until the end

He whistles and he runs, so hold him fast
Breathe the burn, you want to let it last
He might succumb to what you haven't seen
He has a keen eye for what you used to be
When the cadaverous mob saves their
Doors for the dead men you cannot leave
When the cadaverous mob saves it's
Doors for the dead men you cannot leave

When the cadaverous mob saves it's
Doors for the dead men you cannot leave
