Well ev'ry city's made an ocean
Out of ev'ry stone cold heart it bears
From pebbles, dust and molten ashes
To salt licked mist and gulls and air

You see, my boat's doubled as a harbour
My docks feel and touch and prod
An' as my belly's gnarly heart labours
My hands trickle like a cod's

Well why should I listen closely
When the moon spews its whites all around?
They drip and burn my skin like ivory
While the moon distracts me from its sound

Well let me spell it out for you, baby
S-T-O-P-A-N-D-G-O
I know love'll stay with us forever
Or atleast as far as love'll go

Well you best write what you remember
An' you best remember what you right
'Cause they say a pocketfull of sunshine
Means a Hell of alot more night
