Bottled Ship Song
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.
I feel just like a ship in a bottle
I don't know how to get out or how I got in
But then you came along and for a minute or two
I thought I might just've learned something new
But I hadn't, and now you're stuck down here like me
So close your eyes and try to sleep
Close your eyes and try to get some sleep
'Cause maybe we'll sleep through the worst
And maybe we'll sleep through the best
And maybe we'll sleep through the rest of our lives
It's anyone's guess...
I feel just like a ship in a bottle
I want to get out, but if I did I'd just fall apart
Sails all shredded from the wind and the sand
And then crushed up in some vulgarian's hand
And left in the gutter to make my way back to the sea
BRIDGE
I feel just like a ship in a bottle
I don't feel the need to shake myself free
If you feel just like a ship in a bottle
Then close your eyes and dream of the sea...
