What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Limousines and polished cars flee and bars and steal their way south
2
To the broken river mouth where wives are moved to tears
3
By the clubhouse chandeliers where men swap tales and boast
4
Of brushes with their ghosts and the birds with no voice boxes were all asleep
5
And the night just rolled in thick like black vaseline
6
Fires that burn and bleed and flicker on the beach
7
Send word to the captain's post there's parties on the coast
8
I saw them from the boast lose their minds on chardonnay
9
Saw them stumble on the earth saw them screaming at the surf
10
Is this to be our end am I to be your final friend
11
Are we promising ourselves out of having anything?
12
To remind us we're alive to overthrow our enemies and spies
13
To love and in return burst into cinders and burn
14
Hands like broken china mugs steer this fleet
15
Of loser part time thugs into a moonless bay
16
Into the jet-black waves a single lamp hangs from the mast
17
Like an icon in our wake though it's much too cold for stars
18
We crane our necks as far as we can too see this mess
19
Hanging over us like death so we raise our glasses
20
And button up our coats and we think about the good times
21
In the belly of the boat
22
I saw them from the house first jack-knife and then capsize saw them leave this little earth saw them swallowed by the surf
23
Is this to be our end am I to be your final friend
24
Are we promising ourselves out of having anything
25
To remind us we're alive to overthrow our enemies and spies
26
To love and in return burst into cinders and burn.
27
In cold silence we'll make our way to the great windows that frame our bay
28
And we feel she's sick cause we know her soul
29
And we'll save the men whose lives she stole
30
And we'll lift our heads above our hearts
31
And we'll find some more drinking cups
32
Cause tonight"¦
33
We'll pull
34
The drunks our from the sea
35
They'll be pale and dead but free
36
And we'll line the balconies
37
Searching for our friends
38
And we brave what fortune brings
39
But we won't give up our things
40
For kilometres along the coast
41
We'll be toasting dead men's ghosts
42
Raise your glasses
43
Raise your glasses
44
Raise your glasses
45
And set their spirits free
46
Evoking the dead drunks of the sea
