Breaking Vows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Love
Spreads like desire
Like a disease
All across my body
In my headaches everyday
For this lack of
Par-ti-cipation
In the other half
The talk it out and make it last-half
That's supposed to make up a good
Re-lation-ship
But this ship
It ain't going nowhere
This ship is
Docked-out
Parked-back
Stuck on this rock
With a hole in the bow
And she is breaking
Yes she's breaking
Yeah she is breaking
This vessel is
Breaking vows
N' my heart
Spreads like a flag
In wicked wind
It tears at the end
Straight out
Cutthroat
No give at the rope
Fly-high
Full-mast
Dear God this wind had better last
Or I'm gonna break
And mutter
Do it again do it again
Do it again do it again
But this ship
It ain't going nowhere
This ship is
Docked-out
Parked-back
Stuck on this rock
With a whole in the bow
And she is breaking
Yes she's breaking
Yeah, she is breaking
This vessel is
Breaking vows
Do it again do it again do it again
yeah ...
