Destroyer – Crimson Tide

I was lying, the laziest river
A vulture predisposed to eating off floors
No wait, I take that back
I was more like an ocean
Stuck inside hospital corridors
My condition in general
Despite what they say, improves

So, I could care less, on a night like this
I’m on the lookout for anything that moves
Crimson Tide

I know when to hold ’em
And I know when to leave
I know where to go
I know how to breathe
I know how you blow
Bubbles
You can look at the world
‘Til you don’t know what you’ve done
You can follow a salary to the bottom of the ocean
Is that yours?
Throw it in the pond
I thought I was smart
I’m not
I thought I was sick and dying

Chicken-shit singers
Paying their dues
A circus mongrel sniffing for clues
You watch the blonde make mincemeat of the brunette
An actress pays her debt
To Satan again and again
I said I don’t know
Just ’cause
A child coo’s sweet nothings to a box of us
He’s not a child, he’s twenty-five
He’s never felt so alive
Crimson tide

One more dead rich runaway
Who gives a shit
Must be nice, must be the rain
When lightning strikes twice
The funeral goes completely insane
The funeral’s insane
The funeral’s insane
The funeral’s insane

Vicious stampede
A vile promenade
But in china teacups
Two fools find love
Back at Hotel Parallel
The stereo I can feel it

She said get into the zone
The zone is brimstone in wire
You open your mouth
To watch you teeth shudder
At the mirror
At the clutter
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
Crimson tide
