Lyrics Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney

The End of You

Build for me your tightest ship, make the oars run swift and fast

Send me out your strongest crew, make their hearts and minds steadfast

Bless me with Athena there's no meaner, she's the best

When we hit the roughest sea we'll need all we can get

You say, "Sink or swim"

What a cruel, cruel phrase

I'd rather fly

Don't wanna be caught in this endless race

The first beast that will appear will entice us with money and fame

If you listen long enough you'll forget there's anything else

Tie me to the mast, of this ship and of this band

Tie me to the greater things, the people that I love

You can walk the plank

Do the dead man's float

Never let them see

Your heart is pounding full of hope

Let the last storm hit us, let it strike at the hardest part

Turn us all to mutiny, turn this boat upside down

I am not the captain, I am just another fan

Sailing off the edge of truth into the end of you

Eye of the storm

What a cruel, cruel myth

There's no bigger spotlight

Than shown on the ones brave enough to live

The end of you, the end of you, the end of you

I'm lookin' for you

The end of you, the end of you, the end of you

I'm lookin' for you
