Mission Rock Resort

Let’s have a drink at the Mission Rock
Watch the Oakland lights across the dry dock
Watch the blue, blue sky darken like an inhalation
Over the graveyard of ships and your conversation

It’s sad when you try and manipulate me
It’s sad ’cause I don’t love you that way anymore
You’re worried if you remembered to use bleach on your needle
Well so what, so what, so what, so what?

So we sit and watch the planes take off from Oakland and circle gracefully
In a sky so royal and blue
They flash their lights like a jewel in some pretender's crown then vanish forever
Hey, how’s your Margarita?
You won’t be around very much longer

And our talk is useless
It only makes us seem clever
While nothing changes
While nothing changes
Nothing changes
Nothing changes
Not ever

If I could talk it out of you I would
If I could beat it out of you I would
But all I can do is follow stupidly behind
And watch you walk to the ocean in your mind

And there’s always more
Always more ties you could sever
And nothing changes
While nothing changes
While nothing changes
And nothing changes
Not ever
