Sugar Boats Lyrics - Strangers To Ourselves - Modest Mouse

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
