Knik

Who cares? What's the use of crying? Nothin'
Just sink in the mud, arms waving
Airlift me off the silt flats in a bore tide
Sailor boy, stand under the light in my grandfather's dog tags
If you could be strong, you'd insert the knife
You be the king, and I'll be your wife

Find someplace to hide
Where the dream survives
I'm lonely, will your love be mine?
Maybe we can pretend

On standby, on standby
Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry
On standby, on standby
Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime (you'll know crime)
But you don't know why (you'll know crime)
But you don't know

What's the family's role when felony rules?
The killer, the carp, the creeper, the fool
On dunes where we ride
Will the dreams survive? I remain positive
We don't need more rules, we can bend

You could tell me the point of today's nothing
I'll hold you 'til the golden boomerang returns
Or you could jump into the Sandy with
Me and my baby soaking it in

On standby, on standby
Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry
On standby, on standby
Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime (you'll know crime)
But you don't know why (you'll know crime)
But you don't know

Life forgives, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness
Love don't forget, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy
Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room
Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy
Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room
You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
