So I drowned in the boat I choked down
And I am a guilty man
So get it out, get it out
Life is a loose tooth leaving your mouth
And the captain remained proud
Looked down, seeing the ground getting closer to me
If it's a crime they'll hang me every time
I tried to offer up a reason why
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
If it's a crime they'll hang me every time
I cut it open wide, took out a box
I tried to offer up a reason why
Descending into vertigo
Every time the punishment is the same?
Is it a crime to pass the blame
Pick me up so I can fall back down again
Dig that ditch, ditch that dirt it's just a body now
Pick me up so I can fall back down again
I just missed a slap on the wrist
I tried, my dear to set things straight
Inside the box there was a bee keeping time
If it's a crime they'll hang me every time
I, I tried to set things straight
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
And now the ground is coming up my sleeves
A key witness to the stand
And the cyst is growing into this
Came to with a pain in my gut again
Descending into vertigo
I tried, my dear to set things straight
The jury's out creeping about
