"Hydroplaning Off The Edge Of The World" lyrics

"Hydroplaning Off The Edge Of The World"

I lie
To myself, I lie down on the breeze
I whisper "Hey, breeze
Where ya going?"
Does the wine or the whiskey miss me? No
At night cats get smashed in the snow, I don't mind
We are gathered here today to have a real nice time
Absent friends, where'd you go?

Fools rush in but you're the only one with guts
We are family...

I lie
To myself, I lie down on the breeze
I whisper "Hey, breeze
Where ya going?"
It said "Fuck it, I don't need it, religion and rules. I
Cross my heart and then I hope to die. I
Go to the park and then I go back home"

Fools rush in but they're the only ones with guts

We are now entering a new phase
A priest mistakes me for a priest
Mistakes me for a Houston Rocket validating snow
Insane intercourse, constant swapping
While I fall asleep inside a bass
I'm counting on my breath to make tunnels
I'm counting on my breath
A British Columbian prayer:
No matter when, no matter where
S-s-s-suffer

The last time I...

The last time I saw Georgie
It was an incredible vision
Cracked alabaster from head to toe
Just this terrible crescendo
Heading towards a conclusion
Dying for a conclusion
Dead ends on Retrospective Street
In love with every person I meet
In love with the Gun Club

Mirthless husk floating on an ocean
On the surface of the King of France
Thousand-yard stare stares at the menu and grins
From this angle, in a certain light...
All bets are off on every goddamn thing
It's all the same thing under a certain light
Women fill out, men crumble inwards
There – I didn't wanna say it but I did:
My life's a giant lid
Closing
On an eye

It's all the same thing in a certain light
It's all the same thing in a certain light
But we live in the light
It is exquisite, it goes through you
It goes through your legs...
God is famous for punishing

I burned my boats
I'm staying here in the harbour
I go nowhere
Death by illumination
I want it, I want it, I want, I want it
In the shop window, illumined like candy
I bought all these people this brandy
