"Abandon Ship" lyrics
You haven't called back for a week and a half
You must've passed out in the bath
And slipped down the drain through sewers and caves
Now you're in the Loch Ness's lake
The Mayor of town pulls you right out
Slaughters the monster you found
To invite you for tea, poison the leaves
Of course you can't chat, you're deceased
That's the only possible reason
There's no way on earth that you'd leave me
I simply refuse to believe in
Rubbish excuses like "losing feelings"
So I wait
I craft up ways
Why you've gone M.I.A.
Like you're practicing magic
Cursed by a witch
T-boned in traffic
Stuck in a ditch
If you're my captain
Where have you been?
Don't you know you can't abandon ship?
Left me on read again and again
Must've forgot to hit send
Joined a traveling band, banjo in hand
You're swarmed by an army of fans
Surfing the crowd, you fall to the ground
Paramedics gather round
The headline's release, RIP
I'm drafting your eulogy
There's no other truth on the table
So sure you won't give us a label
But there's proof in the pudding I tasted
Love can't just be fabricated baby
So I wait
I craft up ways
Why you've gone M.I.A.
Like you're slaying a dragon
Burnt to a crisp
Studying Latin
So linguistic
If you're my captain
Where have you been?
Don't you know you can't abandon ship?
Woe is me
Woe is me
I'm lost at sea
Emotionally
Your first mate
Calls your name
Cross the waves
Did the mermaids
Intercept your message in a bottle?
Anchor you at the bottom?
You can't respond underwater
Rescuing you's my honor
So I wait
I craft up ways
Why you've gone M.I.A.
Like you're locked in a castle
Tied at the wrists
Cleaning the attic
Dust every inch
If you're my captain
Where have you been?
Think I don't like being stranded
Just let me know where you landed
Don't you know you can't abandon ship?
Hey!
You must've passed out in the bath
And slipped down the drain through sewers and caves
Now you're in the Loch Ness's lake
The Mayor of town pulls you right out
Slaughters the monster you found
To invite you for tea, poison the leaves
Of course you can't chat, you're deceased
That's the only possible reason
There's no way on earth that you'd leave me
I simply refuse to believe in
Rubbish excuses like "losing feelings"
So I wait
I craft up ways
Why you've gone M.I.A.
Like you're practicing magic
Cursed by a witch
T-boned in traffic
Stuck in a ditch
If you're my captain
Where have you been?
Don't you know you can't abandon ship?
Left me on read again and again
Must've forgot to hit send
Joined a traveling band, banjo in hand
You're swarmed by an army of fans
Surfing the crowd, you fall to the ground
Paramedics gather round
The headline's release, RIP
I'm drafting your eulogy
There's no other truth on the table
So sure you won't give us a label
But there's proof in the pudding I tasted

Don't you know you can't abandon ship?
Woe is me
Woe is me
