Amanda Palmer
The Boat Song
[Verse 1]
My baby doll
Could you just go
Down to the sushi bar and get me what I want I know you know
I want a car
I want a dress

[Verse 2]
I want a bag that’s big enough to fit
My seven hundred friends

[Pre Chorus]
We’re gonna need a miracle
We’re gonna need a plan
We’re gonna have to find a place to go
We’re out here in the water with our pockets full of sand
And the sinking souls around us yelling
No, no, no

[Chorus]
We’re gonna need a bigger boat
For all this shit
We can’t just go around pretending
Everyone is gonna fit

[Hook]
I know I told you
I promised it
But I have always been a liar
Sorry, life’s a fucking bitch
[Verse 3]
I want a castle
In the country
I want a loft downtown
I wanna call you
When I want you
Honey, I don’t want you hanging around

[Verse 4]
And while you’re out dear
Grab me a church dear
And not some strip mall shit I’m talking real stained glass

[Verse 5]
And my believers
People with class
I’m gonna hang out on my alter in my golden robe and crown
Professing all my propaganda while they kiss my ass

[Pre Chorus]
We’re gonna need a miracle
We’re gonna need a plan
We’re gonna have to find a place to go
We’re stuck here in a lifeboat with our amputated hands
And our automated captain yelling
Row, row, row
[Chorus]
We’re gonna need a bigger boat
For all this shit
We can’t just go around pretending
Everyone is gonna fit

[Hook]
I know I told you
I promised it
But I have always been a liar
Sorry, life’s a fucking bitch

[Chorus]
We’re gonna need a bigger boat
For all this fish
We’re gonna murder the whole ocean
With our fucked up wish

[Hook]
I know i told you
I promised it
But I was lying when I promised
And I’ve always been a liar

[Outro]
And you’re not getting on this boat
So fucking live with it
