My Ship — текст песни (Shawn Mullins)

My ship up here is sinkin

But this is what I am

And Id tell you what Im thinkin

If I thought youd give a damn

And I dont know a single one of you

But you feel like a winters rain

Tell me would listen to the words I speak

If I knew you all by name

Its niether here nor there

Cause I still wake up in my hotel room

With this smokey barroom in my clothes and hair

Every night is different

Every nights the same

Aint if funny how each of us

Has his own way to kill the pain

Makes me think of my friend jimmy

Who never could behave

He bought a gator skateboard

With the money that he saved

He rode that 4 wheeled sufrin board around

Till he was old enough to shave

Then it was replaced by a 69 lasabre

Hed putter off to schol

As fast as that thing would get

And all the kids would say

Here comes jimmy in that beat up piece of shit

He used to take up 2 whole spaces

In the senior parking lot

Yea now jimmys doin seven years

For stickin up a subway sandwhich shop

So crawl beneath your words

Say whats on your mind

Tell it like it is

Dont get stuck behind

Cause its the truth you know,

That gets you by

Its not who or what you know,

Its why

So straddle that old fencepost

And fade it down to nothing

And youll see

You might see

That my ship up here is sinkin

But this is what I am

And Id tell you waht Im thinkin

If I thought you gave a damn

So take this in or dont

I dont really care

You will or you wont

2 choices in the air...
