Seasick Of You

I'm set adrift by the things that you say
I don't need it this way
I'm just sailing through time
I'm falling down and you're rocking my boat
It's the way that you bloat
Like an urchin on wine

You're smiling wide on your funeral pyre
Like a Viking for hire
With an axe to grind
A mutiny brewing in the galley
And the sailors won't be
As trusting as we

Swallow the sea, it'll make you a man
Let the wave go and you'll understand
Swallow the sea and see if you do
Be more like me 'cause I'm seasick of you

I'm setting off for a brand-new world
Leave it undisturbed
And you'll make it alright
No need to choke that which needs to breathe
We're just planting the seed
We're just holding up vines

I'm set adrift by the things that you do
What you're thinking ain't good
You're just wasting my rhyme

Swallow the sea, it'll make you a man
Let the wave go and you'll understand
Swallow the sea and see if you do
Be more like me 'cause I'm seasick of you
Swallow the sea and don't be afraid
Duck your head in and let life be played

The lighthouse shines on you
Oh God, oh no, don't say it's true
And though you've got the goods
Oh God, you don't know what to do

The rock is closing in
Oh God, oh no, is that a fin?
You've got the map confused
Oh God, oh no, is that a grin?
What a grin
What a grin

Swallow the sea, it'll make you a man
Let the wave go and you'll understand
Swallow the sea and see if you do
Be more like me 'cause I'm seasick of you

Oh, swallow the sea and don't be afraid
Duck your head in and let life be played
Swallow the sea, it'll make you a man
Let the wave go and you'll understand

Oh, I'm seasick of you, oh
