Lyrics

Sailor on this ship of doom Like the fable of the astronaut: Wanted space but there's only room Been singin' in the rain Got to keep those spirits up While we're all waiting to be saved It was tightly rehearsed but gave The impression of pure improv The impression of pure improv Now we're watching Oscar bait Because the paywall's been torn down Well at least all the drinks are free As free as the trapped can be And the jokes get darker as All the nights get longer, yeah All the barstools like pylons set At the scene of the accident And the reflections of the blinking stars In the Lido pool … It just breaks my heart Oh I hope for the waves Gonna find the lifeboat plans And escape under blue moon Well you know love and death, they say They will both take your breath away And midnight gets earlier But your eyes adjust to the light You wonder where everyone went Left the scene of the accident And the reflections of the blinking stars In the Lido pool … It just breaks my heart Oh I hope for the waves And the reflections of the blinking stars In the Lido pool … It just breaks my heart
