Tide Me Over

Wine soaked through the spine of the ideas on my right,
The sun has already slipped right up
Past the floorboards,
Something sickly slipped a disc, and is
Holding the stick shift,
The plates of the earth they roll like porcelain
Polish them until they shine,
Until they are licked clean
This dinner was never meant to keep us alive, anyway...

So let's see if the (Talk fading)
(Rich claiming) Green sea will tide me over...
(What else will be left for us)

And let's see if the (Seas changing)
(Tide taking) Green sea will tide me over...
(All things that we thought we knew)

Well, let's see if the (Hate rising)
(No confiding) Green sea will tide me over...
(No one wants to listen anymore)

Oh, let's see if the (Plans failing)
(Hope breaking) Green sea will tide me over...
(But still we find solace in the sea)

The men bow their heads, tuck their toes inside their shoes,
And it's all the
Kids have ever known,
So there's no point in waiting 'till they've
Grown, grown out of it;
This iron ceiling keeps getting lower, this
Iron ceiling keeps getting lower, this
Iron ceiling keeps getting lower...

So let's see if the (Talk fading)
(Rich claiming) Green sea will tide me over...
(What else will be left for us)

And let's see if the (Seas changing)
(Tide taking) Green sea will tide me over...
(All things that we thought we knew)

Well, let's see if the (Hate rising)
(No confiding) Green sea will tide me over...
(No one wants to listen anymore)

Oh, let's see if the (Plans failing)
(Hope breaking) Green sea will tide me over...
(But still we find solace in the sea)

Until the spring comes,
Haven't won
Look beneath the flowered curtain
And of the dirty heads, 'till you get
A little more
Of the things you think that you
Can't have...
