Sugar boats


This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we'll go
Or where we have come from

These veins of mine are like some sort of fuse
Because when they go up in my mind
Close up my heart is amused

So

This heart of mine is just some sort of map
That doesn't care about what it's about
Or where the hell you're at

Here we go!

Well, I've been meaning to dismiss you, yeah
I have meant to dismiss you

So stand by, by by by, bye bye
Wave goodbye sugar boats
Well, I ain't getting on no fast train, yeah
I ain't getting on no stuffy train

As soon as you paint every last grain of sand
As soon as you paint every last star in the skies, skies
Wave goodbye, sugar boats

I'm swatting at mosquitoes as they're orbiting me
I've grown used to so much the list goes on
It goes on and on and on, swinging

This heart of mine is just some bugged machine
And it gets a-going and it often gets a-going and
Stops going again

This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we go
Or where we have come from

This heart of mine is like some sort of book
Because when I look in, and I shouldn't look in
I see when it's my time to go

Well, I ain't getting on no fast plane, yeah
I ain't getting on no stuffy train
These sugar boats swim around and around
They sugar boats they're just fine
I'm standing on the decks so you can
I'm standing on the decks so you can
Wave bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye

The Sugar Boats wave goodbye

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

I Modest Mouse sono un gruppo musicale indie rock statunitense formatosi ad Issaquah, Washington, nel 1993. Il nucleo fondante era composto dal chitarrista e cantante Isaac Brock, dal bassista Eric Judy e dal batterista Jeremiah Green. Conosciuti per il loro sound sperimentale che fonde elementi di rock alternativo, folk e psichedelia, i Modest Mouse hanno guadagnato un seguito crescente grazie a album come "Lonesome Crowded West" (1997) e "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" (2004). Il loro successo è culminato con l'album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" (2007), che ha raggiunto la posizione numero 2 nella classifica Billboard 200. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Float On", "The World at Large" e "Dashboard". Jeremiah Green, batterista fondatore del gruppo, è scomparso nel 2023 dopo una lunga battaglia contro il cancro.
