Текст песни: Shipwreck in a Bottle + перевод

Take another drag from your cigarette

With your body propped up like a marionette

A glass in hand, drink on your breath

You drown the sorrows out

It’s another night of loneliness

With a barstool as your only friend

I think the ship’s going down

Bail out the water

Man the starboard side

Here comes another

Your head tilts back with a snap of the neck

The barmaids outline; silhouette

Your inside shakes, it’s trembling

You barely hear the sound

That pretty girl and what she said

You’re both feeling desperate

The tunnel’s closing now

The light’s getting softer

There’s a blackout up ahead

We’d better find her a lover

And he sings to himself

I only wanted him to stay home

And she sings to herself

I only wanted to sing songs

So, keep the breathing loud

She takes your hand and leads you down

To the crowded floor you speak in shouts

You hold her close and kiss her mouth

With a practiced routine charm

In these chemicals you’re nearly drown

But she’s all yours now

The vessel’s creaking loud

The mast snaps from the pressure

Waves pouring over the bow

There’s been no break in the weather

You hold the door and lead her out

The silent air’s a welcomed sound

Two shadows in an empty town

Walking arm and arm

A smile for endearing words

And a solemn loving vow

This trek has left you both cold

Your bed has so much to offer

But be careful lonely boy

You know that’s somebody’s daughter

And she sings to herself

I think I’ve finally found what I’ve longed for

And he sings to himself

At least tonight I’ll stay warm

Oh, you should feel so ashamed

And now she’s right where you want her

You’ve turned out just like your father
