Bright Eyes - Ship In A Bottle lyrics

I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open That fixes all of life's mistakes I wanna be the house that you were raised in The only place that you feel safe I wanna be your shower in the morning That wakes you up and makes you clean I know I'm just the weather against your window As you sleep through a winter's dream Something's churning the earth, something's stirring the sky And the colour at once in column of light Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide The worm in my heart's the apple of your eye Don't adore what is impossible We have built this ship in a wine bottle But oh, but if you knew how it worked We would have to grow old (baby crying) Somethin's eating at you, wakes you up in the night If you dig in the past, who knows what you'll find Read the newspaper print off the microfiche slide And your holding your breath for the rest for of your life Don't you love what is intangible I have built this ship in a wine bottle But if you knew who I was You would never grow old
