Ship My Body Home Lyrics - Breathing Tornados - Ben Lee

Coming out of Sydney, country music playing 

Cursing all of them who stayed 

In the city, I own this city 

Get drunker than a poet who just got paid 

And I'm finally hoping that I'll be torn open 

So that every word I say is true 

The words we're shouting while I work it out 

In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through 

You have to ship my body home, ship my body home 

All I ever wanted was to finish what I started 

But there's no way I could do it on my own 

You have to ship my body home 

Driving through the mountains, cutting through the night time 

And stopping now and then to wonder why 

I left the city, the quiet city 

I killed its memory just to watch it die 

And I'm finally hoping that I'll be torn open 

So that every word I say is true 

The words you're hearing while I make it clear 

In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through 

You have to ship my body home, ship my body home 

All I ever wanted was to finish what I started 

But there's no way I could do it on my own 

You have to ship my body 

Ship my body, ship my body 

All I ever wanted was to finish what I started 

So ship my body 

All I ever wanted was to finish what I started 

So ship my body 

All I ever wanted was, all I ever wanted was 

All I ever wanted once I finished what I started 

Was to ship my body home
