Ticket Taker Lyrics - Oh My God Charlie Darwin - The Low Anthem

Tonight's the night when the waters rise 

You're groping in the dark 

The ticket takers count the men who can afford the arc 

The ticket takers will not board 

For the ticket takers are tied 

For five and change an hour 

They will count the passers by 

They say the sky's the limit 

But the sky's about to fall 

Down come all them record books cradle and all 

They say before he bit it 

That the boxer felt no pain 

But somewhere there's a gamblin' man 

With a ticket in the rain 

Mary Anne, I know I'm a long shot 

But Mary Anne, what else have you got 

I am a ticket taker, many tickets have I torn 

And I will be your arc, we will float above the storm 

Many years have passed in this river town 

I've sailed through many traps 

I keep a stock of weapons should society collapse 

I keep a stock of amo 

One of oil and one of gold 

I keep a place for Mary Anne 

Soon she will come home
