"Show Me The Castle" lyrics

"Show Me The Castle"

Pour a drink until the ocean drowns you
Pour it on until the land is closing
Around you
To see if you're lonely
Old and slow
Land ho

Then get closer in
Pretend it's fool proof
Why should I buy what I can always steal?
Should I lie to you?

And show me
Show me the castle

If by time the sky passes
Will I still be with you?
Help me out

If by chance misfortune finds
Mercy in the clouds
I'll be the idiot seed
All packed for ship
Short lives are scrambling
For one more energizing joke

I am the idiot seed
Shedding a coat for blowing
No worse for wear

But that is not
The reason that I called you
Pacing's better in the nighttime
And I skirt the issue in the day time
Around you
Not knowing why
