Sugar Boats by Modest Mouse (Lyrics)

Video: Bimbo’s Initiation, Fleischer Studios Talkartoon, 1931 Sugar Boats This rock of ours is just some big mistake And we will never know just where we go Or where we have came from These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse And when they light up and my mind blows up My heart is amused so This heart of mine is just some sort of map That doesn’t care at all or worry about where the hell you’re at But you’re right there Well, I’ve been meaning to dismiss you Yeah I have some plans to dismiss you So stand by, by, by, by, bye-bye Wave bye, sugar boats! As soon as you paint every last grain of sand As you soon as you paint every star In the sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, sky Wave bye, sugar boats! Well, I’m swatting at mosquitoes as they’re orbiting me I’m orbiting the sun and this goes on and on and on, you see This heart of mine is just some broke machine And when it gets a-goin’, and it often gets goin’ It starts blowin’ steam Here we go again! This rock of ours is just some big mistake And we will never know just where we go Or where we have came from This watch of mine is like some sort of void Cause when I look in, and I shouldn’t look in I, I see it swallow my time Oh no, there it goes! I ain’t getting on no fast plane Hell, I ain’t getting on no stuffy train Sugar boats on the Atlantic are fine The sugar boats, they’re just fine I’ll stand on the deck so you could see I’ll stand on the deck you could wave bye, bye, bye, bye Here’s the ghost that goes and waves bye, bye, bye, bye I’m the ghost that goes and waves bye, bye, bye
