lyrics

My heart is a sinking vessel
My head is filled with blood
The voices ringing in my ears
Of those of every woman I have loved

I will not set foot upon the mountain
Though I know it must be such a sight to see
I will turn and face the wrong direction
This’d be a good day to get lost at sea

I’m dreaming in another language
There’s talk of decision among the ranks
The natives are a-growing restless
And I’ve got a bad case of the shakes

I will not set foot upon the mountain
Though I know it must be such a sight to see
I will turn and face the wrong direction
This’d be a good day to get lost at sea

Somewhere God is in a casket
The dogs are circling round
Waiting with tireless patience
For their master to rise up from the ground

I will not set foot upon the mountain
Though I know it must be such a sight to see
I will turn and face the wrong direction
This’d be a good day to get lost, a good day to get lost, a good day to get lost at sea
