Til Your Ship Comes In

You're kidding me, right?

With that dot in your eye

You went mouthing off to strangers

Til you picked the wrong guy

Frozen on page one

Of some memory book, yeah I know that look

Buried in a purple wash

Of Photoshop collage

But I love you now, and I loved you then

(They hauled you back in)

And I'll love you, 'til your ship comes in

(For fingerprints)

There's no words left for your sir

Just spit in your eye

And the spider webs go red and blue

When the cops go by

I love you now, and I loved you then

(They hauled you back in)

And I'll love you, 'til your ship comes in

(For fingerprints and photos)

On the right track

On the right track

Gonna cut you straight

Save a little face

Gonna act your age

Everybody wants you

In a different way

We call you

By a different name

Gonna cut you straight

On the right track

On the right track

I can't tune you out after all we did

But it sure can be hard to forgive

When you're like

"Pray for me old flame

And my chipped up smile

I shiver like a shadow

In your big black eyes"

I love you now, and I loved you then

(They hauled you back in)

And I'll love you, 'til your ship comes in

(For fingerprints and photos)
