Bright Eyes - Ship In A Bottle Lyrics
I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you openThat fixes all of life's mistakesI wanna be the house that you were raised inThe only place that you feel safeI wanna be your shower in the morningThat wakes you up and makes you cleanI know I'm just the weather against your windowAs you sleep through a winter's dreamSomething's churning the earth, something's stirring the skyAnd the colour at once in column of lightBacteria breeds on a microscope slideThe worm in my heart's the apple of your eyeDon't adore what is impossibleWe have built this ship in a wine bottleBut oh, but if you knew how it workedWe would have to grow old(baby crying)Somethin's eating at you, wakes you up in the nightIf you dig in the past, who knows what you'll findRead the newspaper print off the microfiche slideAnd your holding your breath for the rest for of your lifeDon't you love what is intangibleI have built this ship in a wine bottleBut if you knew who I wasYou would never grow old
