Morning drowned you in the silence Washed up on a traffic island On my shoulder Sighing I'm so tired And the thing that hurts you is the beauty To be denied it feels like cruelty But here inside it There must be somewhere that we can hide Sailing in style Our needles and blue pills For sowing the holes in our reverie So why can't we linger awhile Our heads in the white sand Our hearts on the open sea Before they flay you of your daydreams Grind your diamonds into hay seeds Won't we find out How the beautiful tragedy ends As we share our last desperate kiss I'm just glad we could go out like this
With our backs to the wall Dreaming of freedom Sailing in style Our needles and blue pills For sowing the holes in our reverie Oh, why can't we linger awhile Our heads in the white sand Our hearts, well they'll always be Stones in the ocean Worn smooth by perpetual motion And I'll drown if I ever leave you This far down, there's nowhere to flee to Sailing in style Our needles and blue pills Have washed me as high as I'll ever be So why can't we stay all our lives Our heads in the white sand Our hearts on the open sea Yeah, we left our hearts On the open sea
