lyrics

Sitting in the van,
drinking Bluebird right from the bottle,
Fire’s outside,
And a party like a masquerade,
I am sitting here,
Like the eye inside a hurricane,
Finding empty holes again,
Filling them with rum and distant thunder.

Through two walls and a van door I am
Feeling far from anything,
Ironically I’m closer than I’ve
been in years to you.

You don’t know that I’m here
and if I get to have my way that will
never change it'll stay that way and
I’ll drink myself to sleep,

And far away from here,

As my pirates drink their rum well I will
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her,
For the voyage is done and the winds don’t blow,
And it’s time for us to leave her

Clutch the neck of glass
as the rings are shining by the fire,
Take another swig
and feel my problems burn away,
Layin' in the corner,
A husky puppy for a parrot,
As Crimespree plays Parasite,
And it fills me with love and distant thunder,

Through two walls and a van door I am
feeling far from anything,
Ironically I’m closer than I’ve
been in years to you.

You don’t know that I’m here and if I
get to have my way that will
never change it'll stay that way,
and I’ll drink myself to sleep,

And far away from here,

Well as my pirates drink their rum well I will
Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her,
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
And it’s time for us to leave her.

Leave her Johnny, leave her,
Oh, leave her Johnny, leave her,
For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
And it’s time for us to leave her.
