lyrics

My father told me there'd be girls like you
I guess my dad knew hard times, too
The ocean has broken a lot of boats
The ocean has broken a lot of boats
The ocean's been breaking boats for a long time
I've got a lean king heartstring
Memory of you talking all insane
I've got a Lite-Brite nightlife
Feeling I can't remember your name
I've got a big ship pink slip
Vision of me leaving on a train
And all the good times start to sound the same
As the bad ones
I've been sleeping like a new champ
And working like a tube amp
And aching in my fingers
Killing in the living room
And itching to be moving
Not telling what I'm doing
I'm digging like a stinger
And breaking up about way too
Glowing like an oil lamp
And sticking like an implant
I'm stumbling like an old tramp
And driving like an on ramp
The ocean's been breaking boats for a long time
