Guided By Voices - Navigating Flood Regions lyrics

Spy! shouted the crew, Lets string him up Wise off to the captain, now wheres my coffee cup? And its been an adventurous day The ship floats, but it wont float away Lets us stay Don your favorite costume, here we go Belt a song from your lungs real long and slow And youre doing a wonderful job Shaping up with a competent mob Its your job Its as long as wide and just beginning Been around for eons just like me Grab your money and lets go for all the winnings Cast your soul into the jagged sea Its the number on your head Now youre dead Stuff you down the barrel of a cannon Let you see the world as something to see Take you to the corners of the playground Let you watch the traffic through the trees Its the number on your head Now youre dead And well run as the war trumpet blows And the judge with the list of no-shows

 
Spy! shouted the crew, Lets string him up
Wise off to the captain, now wheres my coffee cup?
And its been an adventurous day

The ship floats, but it wont float away
Lets us stay

Don your favorite costume, here we go
Belt a song from your lungs real long and slow
And youre doing a wonderful job
Shaping up with a competent mob
Its your job

Its as long as wide and just beginning
Been around for eons just like me
Grab your money and lets go for all the winnings
Cast your soul into the jagged sea
Its the number on your head
Now youre dead

Stuff you down the barrel of a cannon
Let you see the world as something to see
Take you to the corners of the playground
Let you watch the traffic through the trees
Its the number on your head
Now youre dead

And well run as the war trumpet blows
And the judge with the list of no-shows
