Dead Man's Float

Lyrics

Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
 Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
 Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
 Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
 Yea as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death
 We shall fear no evil
 For we are the most evil motherfuckers in whatever valley we choose to occupy
 Gentrify, overtake or drunkenly speed through
 And it's we, the hitchhikers with tired thumbs
 Often greeted by middle fingers, imagery lingered as the tires spun (it's tiresome)
 Now conserve your energy and lay face-down in the waterways
 Seek guidance from the sirens calling out to you from those watery graves
 Bodies are on display, bloated and holding their crown jewels
 Instead of flotation devices, they decided the house rules didn't apply to them
 Got baptised in the name of Neptune and then died for him
 When the ice was thin, dead man's float for those who don't like to swim
 Don't fret cause help is on its way, it'll be here any day
 Just stay still and do nothing buddy, remain faithful, you're gonna be saved
 And when you meet your maker you can explain
 How there was a cemetery of support behind every wager that you placed
 All the of every deceased beast that came before is sweetly saying
 "We all float down here and wait for riptide to sweep us away"
 To the valley of the shadow where we shall fear no evil
 For we are so cerebral, we, the ghost people
 With the poke of a needle, pop of a pill, we, the pole survivalists
 Holding onto the steeple like a lightning rod to show that we die for this
 It's been said "faith could move a mountain"
 Faith couldn't even move low-income families away from Biblical floods when they were all drowning
 There's not a doubt in my mind and there's not a cloud in the sky
 There's just contaminated rivers filled with waterlogged subordinates floating on by
 Float on
 Swimming through iron limbs of the knighted stiffs
 The skeletal remains of false praise, the slow decay of yesterday's recycled gifts
 They're drowning in sorrow cause they pray with clenched fists
 Shamed by the broken promise of tomorrow, the guilt sticks to the ribs
 And it's ageless, and it's ancient, and it ain't shit
 When compared to the present, so all hail the king
 While the paupers and peasants return to the so-called essence
 The war, the famine, the death, the pestilence
 Float on
 
 Float on, float on
 ♪
 Float on, float on
 As I received you, thing of the prince
 The worst of luck ain't always bestowed upon the old and weak
 We stick em, hahaha, stick em where the ocean's deep
 Go to sleep young one, have sweet dreams of someone
 That you'll never meet, but you'll speak of often whenever you talk in tongues
 The coffin comes in the form of a canoe, no paddle
 No info, no manual, live slow, don't be so quick to storm the castle
 That's survival kids, put an oxygen mask inside the tackle box
 Your limbs and abdomen will sense when the pressure of the cabin drops
 Shut up when the captain talks, the secret of the enlightened
 Is to preach against whatever it is they practice in the dark
 We're all born free, we die by the shackles we adopt
 Enjoy your buoyancy, right up until the very last drop
 The dead man's float, the deadpan joke
 The cold touch of a stranger, the left hand stroke
 There's no right hand man, the bedpan spill, the dead man's still
 Face-down in his own waste, while we chase
 A shadow in the gallows of the valley of death
 Where we shall fear no evil for as long as we can hold our breath
 Float on
 Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
 Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
 Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
 Go away, be extinct, disappear, float on
