Albatross

If you're on your way to nowhere Then go at full speed 'Cause what won't wash off in the water Ought to go down well with a drink It's just a word but feels like sticks and stones to me Riding waves and claiming hurricanes are a gentle breeze So tell me what're you here for Is there trouble on the deck Is it a holy cross Or an albatross That's hanging from your neck Tell me what're you here for Is it really so cold So what price would you pay Just to be terrified With your daily dose of soma In a coma but you're still alive Put world war three on hold 'Cause I've forgot my butter knife And do stop to smell the roses dear The smoke can wait for a while So tell me what're you here for Is there no turning back now Oh have the oars been thrown The wind won't blow This ship won't go no-how Tell me what're you here for Is it really so cold Well it's free for you to take But you have to hold the weight And you can never let it go It's your victory to claim Well done, you trampled down a mountain Just to dance in the dust But now I've said too much So tell me what're you here for Is there trouble on the deck Is it a holy cross Or an albatross Hanging from your neck Tell me what're you here for Is it really so cold
