Saturday Looks Good To Me - (Even If You Die On The) Ocean lyrics

I found the garden gate unlocked so I went in And picked the perfect spot where I could bury my youth But hounds of love and hounds of war Hounds galore Those hoary hounds were pouncing Each with waxy wooden tooths Remember when it dawned on you The day that you knew that You could live forever and still never make a masterpiece To shut those pups up in the least But everybody knows That's the way it goes Even if you die on the ocean Every Wednesday afternoon Me and you bleeding on the newspaper cla**ifieds Dragging out the drinking down for high school kids who Died out on the highway in the middle of the night Sing a song that means you love Everyone who's ever come within the sound Of any of your cloudy words But get your song together first Save it 'til you're sure Hang it on the door Sing it from the top of the mountain 'Til everybody knows Exactly how it goes Even if you die on the ocean Even when you die on the ocean Children screaming speeches into microscopic tape recorders Wired to the mire of the moat And I was still at odds with several thousand nonbelievers Both above and below Smoking silhouettes outside the school with all the cymbalists The simplest way I knew to go And we could talk ourselves into the dreary deeps Before we realized there was a hole in the boat And everybody's answer to the world Was "We should start another world!" And I said, "What do you propose? Because you know The world that we've got going now has to be The hardest place I've ever been. It's got me shrinking in my skin, but then again, I guess That everybody knows That's just the way it goes." Even if you die on the ocean There's just so many crowns And everybody drowns Everybody dies on the ocean.
