Ship In A Bottle
I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you openThat fixes all of life's mistakesI wanna be the house that you were raised inThe only place that you feel safe
I wanna be a shower in the morningThat wakes you up and makes you cleanI know I'm just the weather againt your windowAs you sleep through a winter's dream
Someones churning the earthSomeone's stirring the skyEvery color at once in a column of lightsBacteria breeds on a microscope slideThe worm in my heart's the apple of your eye
Don't adore what is impossibleWe have built this ship in a wine bottleBut if you knew how it workedWe'd have to grow old
Someone's eating at you, wakes you up in the nightIf you're digging the past, who knows what you'll findRead the newspaper print off the microfiche slideAnd you're holding your breath for the rest of your life
Don't you love what is intangibleI have built this ship in a wine bottleBut if you knew who I was...You would never grow old
