F-Stop Blues
[Verse 1]Hermit crabs and cowry shellsCrush beneath his feet as he comes towards youHe's waving at you
Lift him up to see what you can seeHe begins his focusingHe's aiming at you
And now he has cutaways from memoriesAnd close-ups of anything thatHe has seen or even dreamedAnd now he's finished focusing
He's imagining lightningStriking sea sicknessAway from here
[Chorus]Look who's laughing now that you've wastedHow many years and you've barely even tastedAnything remotely close toEverything you've boasted aboutLook who's crying now
[Verse 2]Driftwood floats, after years of erosionIncoming tide touches roots to expose themQuicksand steals my shoeClouds bring the f-stop blues
[Chorus]
