Taking on Water Songtext

von Vigilantes of Love

Yes, you're a big ship loaded down
With a whole lot of baggage and freight
And life's a luxury liner
Cutting through each circumstance and wave

Now the cold icy waters
Have sent the captain with his bottle off to bed
The temperature's dropping
Radio is dead

Taking on water, going down fast
Yes, under the breakers, send an SOS
Tell all the passengers to spend what they wanna
Taking on water

Call it catastrophe
Or the hand of the Good Lord reaching through
Call it a tragedy
But there will be no last minute interviews

Got to be a bit heavy handed
When you're swimming in the shark infested seas
Yeah, to get my attention off my treason and mutiny

Yeah, call me irresponsible
Baby, call me undeniably true
Well, at least for the moment
When I first set my eyes on you

Got a big hole in a small heart
Asking you, no, begging you to fill
Gonna take some radical surgery
But you know my nasty will
