Kerosene Musk

Ker-
Kerosene musk
Becomes overdone
And there was no heart to paint any mind
And all that you feel is just left all in fine
Oh, oh, oh, oh

And so the ship's helm cracks
Beneath its own hands
The waves cut like balls around the mermaid's hair
The captain's watch was long for the sun could care

So all that's left to do
Is send my earth back
Glowing and it's resting in the dried up sweat
Uncertainly smitten with her cigarette

And certainly drunk
Certainly
Drunk
