Hydroplaning Off the Edge of the World

[Intro]
Ba-la-la, ba-la-la-la-la-la
Ba-la-la, ba-la-la-la-la-la
Ba-la-la, ba-la-la-la-la-la, ba

[Verse 1]
I lie to myself, I lie down on the breeze
I whisper, "Hey, breeze, where ya going?"
Does the wine or the whiskey miss me? No
At night cats get smashed in the snow, I don't mind
We are gathered here today to have a real nice time
Absent friends, where'd you go?

[Refrain]
Fools rush in
But you're the only one with guts
We are family

[Verse 2]
I lie down on the breeze
I whisper, "Hey, breeze, where ya going?"
Said, "Fuck it, I don't need it, religion and rules
I cross my heart and then I hope to die
I go to the park and then I go back home"

[Refrain]
Fools rush in
But they're the only ones with guts

[Verse 3]
We are now entering a new phase
A priest mistakes me for a priest
Mistakes me for a Houston Rocket validating snow
Insane intercourse, constant swapping while I fall asleep inside a bass
I'm counting on my breath to make tunnels
I'm counting on my breath
A British Columbian prayer
No matter when, no matter where, s-s-s-suffer

[Verse 4]
The last time I
(I lie, I lie down on the breeze)
(I whisper, "Hey")
The last time I saw Georgie ("Breeze")
It was an incredible vision
Cracked alabaster from head to toe (I lie)
Just this terrible crescendo (I lie down on the breeze)
Heading towards a conclusion
Dying for a conclusion (I whisper, "Hey")
Dead ends on Retrospective Street ("Breeze")
In love with every person I meet (I lie)
In love with the Gun Club (I lie down on the breeze)
(I whisper, "Hey")

[Verse 5]
Mirthless husk floating on an ocean ("Breeze")
On the surface of the King of France
Thousand-yard stare stares at the menu and grins (I lie)
From this angle, in a certain light (I lie down on the breeze)
(I whisper, "Hey, breeze")
All bets are off on every goddamn thing
It's all the same thing under a certain light (I lie)
Women fill out, men crumble inwards (I lie down on the breeze)
There, I didn't wanna say it but I did
"My life's a giant lid closing on an eye" (I whisper, "Hey, breeze")

[Verse 6]
It's all the same thing in a certain light
It's all the same thing in a certain light
But we live in the light
It is exquisite, it goes through you
It goes through your legs
God is famous for punishing

[Outro]
I burned my boats
I'm staying here in the harbour
I go nowhere
Death by illumination
I want it, I want it, I want, I want it
In the shop window, illumined like candy
I bought all these people this brandy
