Anvils & Hammers

[Verse 1]

It's raining anvils and hammers

And sea snakes and ladders

And I've been slipping in the mud

Like imaginary armor does

I pass motionless divers

The last known survivors

Of a world we once had high hopes for

And I'm sinking slowly to the floor

[Refrain]

And the treasure's been plundered

By pimps, thieves, and hunters

Who'll send you to your death

And as we drift to the basin

The sharks and crustaceans

Will sleep in our beds

[Verse 2]

The sky is my father

But the sea is my mother

And she gives life then taketh away

As I'm tourniquet'd by manta rays

It's raining anvils and hammers

Monsters, mad hatters

And I'm clutching to a piano stool

Like a teacup in a whirlpool

[Refrain]

Oh I'll meet you at the bottom

Where our dreams are forgotten

But our fears come to life

There'll be a standing ovation

For the sharks and crustaceans

As we languish in style

[Chorus]

There's no need to be afraid

Take it as it comes

Now we've sunk the bed is made

Let your day be done
