The Shins - Trapped By The Sea Lyrics

The Shins Lyrics

"Trapped By The Sea"

Rowing a boat with my slave
Exploring a cave
We got trapped by the sea
Lost with no whiskey, no beer
And flooded on fear
She just smiled at me

Plainly amused by my plight
Awaiting a sight
She'd always longed to see
Poor little boy gonna drown
Wearing a frown
What does that mean to me?

I scream but the mouth is too far
And I broke my guitar
Trying to paddle us free
I found me a pocket of air
But with a knife in her hair
She was waiting for me

Plainly amused by my plight
Awaiting a sight
She'd always longed to see
Poor little boy gonna drown
Wearing a frown
What does that mean to me?
