I am waiting for this ship to sail away
And lead me to my next misadventure
When it comes it will sweep me out to sea
And when it ends, it will end with a clincher
Is that me out there on the horizon
I am at the edge and I am waving
Is that a smile I see on my stupid face
Knowing all the travails I am braving
Too thick to navigate, to thin to plough
Too thick to navigate, to thin to plough
Too thick to navigate, to thin to plough
Living in this eternal now
I am sleeping in my bed on Beacon Street
When a ghost puts her cheek up next to mine
She slips a mickey in the cup beside the bed
Her calming presence anodyne
Who am I to you is what you are to me, she says
It is a riddle I know I must unravel
She has the eyes of a secret song
She points the way that I must travel
When I think of all the dumb shit I have done
It drives me mad I 'cause can’t undo it
I took aim at all your vulnerable bits
And I hurt you and I knew it
I gotta live with all the mess that I have made
I gotta get past it to save my soul
What you do is not for me to say
When it comes to the world I have no control
