"Knik" lyrics

Who cares? What's the use of crying? Nothin'
Just sink in the mud, arms waving
Airlift me off the silt flats in a bore tide
Sailor boy, stand under the light in my grandfather's dog tags
If you could be strong, you'd insert the knife
You be the king, and I'll be your wife
Find someplace to hide
Where the dream survives
I'm lonely, will your love be mine?
Maybe we can pretend

On standby
On standby
Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry
On standby
On standby
Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime
You'll know crime
But you don't know why
You'll know crime
But you don't know

What's the family's role when felony rules?
The killer, the carp, the creeper, the fool
On dunes where we ride
Will the dreams survive?
I remain positive
We don't need more rules, we can bend
You could tell me the point of today's nothing
I'll hold you till the golden boomerang returns
Or you could jump into the Sandy with
Me and my baby soaking it in

On standby
On standby
Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry
On standby
On standby
Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime
You'll know crime
But you don't know why
You'll know crime
But you don't know why

Life forgives, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness
Love don't forget, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy
Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room
Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy
Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room
Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
