Show Me the Castle

Pour a drink until the ocean

Drowns you

Pour it on until the land

Is closing

Around you

To see if you're lonely

Old and slow

Land ho

Then get closer in

Pretend it's foolproof

Why should I buy

What I can always steal

Should I lie to you?

And show me

Show me the castle

If the time the sky passes

Will I still be with you?

Help me out

If by chance misfortune finds

Mercy in the clouds

I'll be the idiot seed

All packed for ship

Short lives are scrambling

For one more energizing joke

I am the idiot seed

Shedding a coat for blowing

No worse for wear

[Instrumental Break]

But that is not

The reason that I called you

Pacing's better in the nighttime

And I skirt the issue in the day time

Around you

Not knowing why
