Float

Drank away the rest of the day
Wonder what my liver'd say
Drink, that's all you can
Blackened days with their bigger gales
Blow in your parlor to discuss the day
Listen, that's all you can
But don't! No, don't sink the boat
That you build, you build to keep afloat
No, don't! No, don't sink the boat
That you built
Sick and tired of what to say
No one listens anyway
Sing, that's all you can
Ramblin' years of lousy luck
You miss the smell of burnin' turf
Dream, that's all you can
But don't! No, don't sink the boat
That you build, you build to keep afloat
No, don't! No, don't sink the boat
That you built that you built to keep afloat
Singled out for who you are
Takes all types to judge a man
Feel, that's all you can
Filthy suits with bigot ears
Hide behind their own worst fears
Live, that's all you can
It's all you can
It's all you can do
No matter where I put my head
I'll wake up feeling sound again
Breath, it's all you can
Tomorrow smells of less decay
The flowers greet this bloomin' fray
Be thankful, that's all you can
But don't, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep alfoat
And, no, don't! No, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
And, no, don't! No, don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat
A ripe old age
A ripe old age
I'm a ripe old age
That's what I am
I'm a ripe old age
A ripe old age
A ripe old age
Just doin' the best I can
A ripe old age
A ripe old age
A ripe old age
That's what I am
A ripe old age
A ripe old age
A ripe old age
Just doin' the best I can, hey!
The best I can
