Menomena - BOTE lyrics

Oh sea legs please, don't fail me now
I pray lord please, help me right
This ship today
Cause, I can't take much more
Of this strain on my battered hull

I thought I was tough i thought I was strong
Thought I could handle anyone who came along

Thought the worth of a boat
In how well it floats
And this old boat won't float for
Long with all these holes
So I grab both sides with iron will
It's fit for war but weighs too
Much and starts to fill

Now I'm clutching the sides as long as I can
It's much too cold to swim
And much too deep to stand

When I started off down this path
I was well aware of the facts
And despite the proof I have vowed to choose
I continue bearing these

I thought I was quick as smart as a whip
I guess I met my match
Best stiffen up, my lip

My wit's getting weak the sea's on the rise
And here I sit exposed atop the lying side

I thought I was tough i thought I was strong
But, I can't stay aboard this
Sinking ship for long

I thought I was quick smart as a whip
I guess I met my match this time
I'll take my licks

And when push always comes to shove
And I feel like enough's enough
And despite the shit-storm that's
Pounding my home i walk outside and set off

Oh sea legs please, don't fail me now
Oh sea legs please, don't fail me now
