Laura Stevenson - Sink, Swim lyrics
[Laura Stevenson - Sink, Swim lyrics]
Oh California, I tried to warn ya
The earth is gonna quake before ya
You'll be real sorry but it won't be sorry
The dirt is gonna crack and split you in two
Then you'll be halved and you'll have to
Find a match that fit your guts
It hurts so much but it keeps your blood in
Watch out they'll swarm ya
The bees that were born
Way too early, wakened by the swirling
Cover your nose up
They'll fill all your holes
They will weigh you down with honeycombs
And though
It'll be your one chance to be sweet
You'll be a thankless home
For ungrateful drones
Who will churn your bones to butter
And you're not coming home
No you've got plenty more in you don't ya
So please
Go easy and breathe some clean air for me
Oh California, I hate to inform ya
Now waves are crashing, coming toward ya
Soaking your pals and dragging them out
You're the only straggler grabbing
Onto the shore
But all the salt's pooled in your ears
It's all your fault I tell ya, listen will ya
Can't you hear me baby?
And you're not coming home
No you've got plenty more in you don't ya?
So please
Go easy and breathe some clean air for me
And if I'd only known, I'd have dragged you
And pulled you undertow if I had to
But, I'm too lazy and
You're too stubborn baby
The earth is gonna quake before ya
You'll be real sorry but it won't be sorry
The dirt is gonna crack and split you in two
Then you'll be halved and you'll have to
Find a match that fit your guts
It hurts so much but it keeps your blood in
Watch out they'll swarm ya
The bees that were born
Way too early, wakened by the swirling
Cover your nose up
They'll fill all your holes
They will weigh you down with honeycombs
And though
It'll be your one chance to be sweet
You'll be a thankless home
For ungrateful drones
Who will churn your bones to butter
And you're not coming home
No you've got plenty more in you don't ya
So please
Go easy and breathe some clean air for me
Oh California, I hate to inform ya
Now waves are crashing, coming toward ya
Soaking your pals and dragging them out
You're the only straggler grabbing
Onto the shore
But all the salt's pooled in your ears
It's all your fault I tell ya, listen will ya
Can't you hear me baby?
And you're not coming home
No you've got plenty more in you don't ya?
So please
Go easy and breathe some clean air for me
And if I'd only known, I'd have dragged you
And pulled you undertow if I had to
But, I'm too lazy and
You're too stubborn baby
