Once when I was just a child Little creature running wild in Queen City Something happened to me there They slip it to me in the air in Queen City Evening shadows started to glow Colors like you'll never know Sitting pretty on the hill Ancient of a million thrills Yo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat Crazy cradle in my leaky boat Yo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat Crazy cradle in my leaky boat Take me home, home Later on I got around Stories of the underground in Queen City Tales of love and squandering And tales of spirits wandering in Queen City Tumble, crawl and reaching bold Fill it till the gla** is full Standing, screaming, on a hill Little creature loves me still Yo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat Crazy cradle in my leaky boat Yo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat Crazy cradle in this leaky boat Can you take me home? Take me, take me back home Gotta keep afloat now In my leaky boat, hmm Can you take me home? Queen City In my leaky boat, Queen City, yeah Take me, take me home, Queen City Queen City Can you take me in my leaky boat? Gotta keep afloat now Take me, take me home Queen City in my leaky boat, in my leaky boat
