[Verse 1]

This is the accent of the half-hearted land

Does it all make sense now?

And if the ship was built in bottled sand

Does it all make sense now?

The anchor's kiss was scrawled in dyslexic crayon

Does it all make sense now?


[Chorus 1]

Is this just a life preserver or a bivouac tenure?

The Tropic of Cancer answered, "drink the quicksand"


[Verse 2]

A mirror was splintered on the deck's floor

Does it all make sense now?

A stowaway that lived beneath this hull

Does it all make sense now?

The anchor's kiss was scrawled in dyslexic crayon

Yes, it all makes sense now


[Chorus 2]

Is this just a life preserver or a bivouac tenure?

The Tropic of Cancer answered, "drink the quicksand"

Its gills will swim faster after a breath from the shore

Is this just a life preserver or a bivouac tenure?


[Bridge]

Breathe the taste of salt water, dry heave up and overboard

Ponce de Leon wrinkles, let's make it young again

Boat drinks for captains, row our boat stowaway

Boat drinks for captains, row our boat stowaway


[Chorus 3]

Is this just a life preserver or a bivouac tenure?

The Tropic of Cancer answered, "drink the quicksand"

Its gills will swim faster after a breath from the shore


[Outro]

All makes sense now

If your map was torn, navigate, navigate

All makes sense now

If your compass broke, navigate, navigate

All makes sense now

If your map was torn, navigate, navigate

All makes sense now


[Instrumental]
