Shipboard Cook
I want to go to the ocean
and send a postcard of my loneliness
forgetting you is so elusive
I run away but it's always this
you're the only one I love
It's always been you
and I wish I was conscripted in the merchant marines
shanghaied into service of sales and machines
just to stay alive, oh
and my sister keeps it simple she's a shipboard cook
she can drive a line and if you take a look
she's kinda worried though, oh
cause I keep hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
I'm always a ghost
I tried your gyspy table rapids in your séance store
I keep an open mind but I think it's just a front
Wanna believe it though
My sister said forget her boy that's all that you need
pitching magical elixers and bottles full of mead
for a broken heart
It's too late for that
So line up my voices to your youth
sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's where I lost you
oh woah let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost
you're about as haunted as a darkened basement
I got all the chances of a dog in a settlement
I live by the secrets she'll never tell
I ride alone with that and morning deep sea swell
I heard there's someone new and she starts to talk
she's the merry widow on the widow's walk
and the fear is I'm the one no matter where you are
in this twisted fucked up film noir
and I'm hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
YEAH
So line up my voices to your youth
sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's where I lost you
oh woah let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost x 4
So line up my voices to your youth
sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's where I lost you
oh woah let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost
So line up my voices to your youth
sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's where I lost you
oh woah let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost
