Occult Detective Club - Ships At Sea
from SPLIT 10" by Something Fierce // Occcult Detective Club
lyrics
HELLO MY DARLING I WRITE TO YOU FROM AMERICA
AS SEEN ON TV WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE HURTING EVERYWHERE
OUR TEETH ARE COFFEE STAINED AND CROOKED AND OUR BOOTS ARE WORN
THE SOLES ARE THIN AND WE CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE STRAPS AT ALL
BUT WE'RE TOLD IN TIME
HOW OUR SHIPS WILL RISE
WITH THE SWELLING TIDE
WE'LL LEAVE THESE SHORES BEHIND
HELLO MY DARLING I'M CALLING YOU FROM THE FACTORY
WHERE I WORK DAILY JUST SO WE CAN FEED OUR FAMILY
I STITCH AND SEW THE HEMS ON CLOTHES AND THEN THEY'RE SHIPPED ABROAD
I WONDER IF THOSE WELL DRESSED WOMEN THINK OF ME AT ALL
AS SEEN ON TV WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE HURTING EVERYWHERE
OUR TEETH ARE COFFEE STAINED AND CROOKED AND OUR BOOTS ARE WORN
THE SOLES ARE THIN AND WE CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE STRAPS AT ALL
BUT WE'RE TOLD IN TIME
HOW OUR SHIPS WILL RISE
WITH THE SWELLING TIDE
WE'LL LEAVE THESE SHORES BEHIND
HELLO MY DARLING I'M CALLING YOU FROM THE FACTORY
WHERE I WORK DAILY JUST SO WE CAN FEED OUR FAMILY
I STITCH AND SEW THE HEMS ON CLOTHES AND THEN THEY'RE SHIPPED ABROAD
I WONDER IF THOSE WELL DRESSED WOMEN THINK OF ME AT ALL
