Generate meaning
1
You found me at some party
2
You thought I'd understand
3
You barreled over to me
4
With a drink in each hand
5
I respect your beliefs, girl,
6
And I consider you a friend,
7
But I've already been born once,
8
I don't wanna to be born again.
9
Your knowledge is impressive
10
And your argument is good
11
But I am the resurrection, babe,
12
And you're standing on my foot!
13
But my little boat is empty
14
It don't go
15
And my oar is broken
16
It don't row, row, row
17
But my little boat is empty
18
It don't go
19
And my oar is broken
20
It don't row, row, row
21
(row!)
22
Your tiny little face
23
Keeps yapping in the gloom
24
Seven steps behind me
25
With your dustpan and broom.
26
I couldn't help but imagine you
27
All postured and prone
28
But there's a little guy on my shoulder
29
Says I should go home alone.
30
You keep leaning in on me
31
And you're looking pretty pissed
32
That grave you've dug between your legs
33
Is hard to resist.
34
But my little boat is empty
35
It don't go
36
And my oar is broken
37
It don't row, row, row
38
But my little boat is empty
39
It don't go
40
And my oar is broken
41
It don't row, row, row
42
Give to God what belongs to god
43
And give the rest to me
44
Tell our gracious host to fuck himself
45
It's time for us to leave.
46
But my little boat is empty
47
It don't go
48
And my oar is broken
49
It don't row, row, row
50
But my little boat is empty
51
It don't go
52
And my oar is broken
53
It don't row, row, row
54
Row...row...row...row...
