[Verse 1]
Rise up real early shaking
Try to steady my hand
Make my way down to the water
Sail a half a mile from land
See where the sharks have been feeding
Out on the ocean alone
And I scrutinize the carnage
Like it was the goddamn Rosetta Stone
[Bridge]
When I crack
That secret code
It's sure to lighten my load
[Refrain]
Won’t you come out sailing with me
Into the warmth of the afternoon
[Verse 2]
Scoop up the guts and brains
Drizzle them into a plastic bag
Let it drop onto the deck
See the day drag
When I get back to the car
It's like a furnace inside
And I head on down the highway
Throttle open wide
And back home in the high heat
I spill out all my presents for you
There's blood all over the floor now
What are we going to do
[Refrain]
Won't you come out sailing with me
Into the warmth of the afternoon
