Boatless Booze Cruise, Part 1

Jackknifed my strife
Take it easy, sit outside
I just died a thousand times yesterday
Lay down. drown out
Drowning in these cries and shouts
Changing so fast that it stays the same

Encryption ensconces this cryptic cliché
If it's not stupid, it's more of the same
I'm too tired to care, we're too busy to think
Let's sit back and laugh and watch the ship sink

The hull and the bow and the smokestacks
Disappeared and we watched it go down
With a screaming Bronx cheer, thank you dear
I will sleep and get up and eat unaware

But don't forget to forget that you forgot me
When I show up at your door
I'm gonna remember that you are my friend
And fall asleep on your floor

Winter is coming, can you find your coat?
Let's go watch the water while the bodies still float
Slit my throat, it's more than a tad overdue
Slit my throat, I can't die in here 'til next June

I breathed, it was smoky, I cried, it was steam
I dreamed that I slept and I actually dreamed
What it is a sickness, what it is, is regret
And I might be dying but I'm not dead yet

But don't forget to forget that you forgot me
When I show up at your door
I'm gonna remember that you are my friend
And fall asleep on your floor

Winter is coming, can you find your coat?
Let's go watch the water while the bodies still float
Slit my throat, it's more than a tad overdue

But don't forget to forget that you forgot me
When I show up at your door
I'm gonna remember that you are my friend
And fall asleep on your floor
