White Jacket - The Giraffes

Waiting for tide to rise

My heart in my shoes

Broken and bleary eyed

A mariner croons

Left all my life behind

For open and endless brine

It’s criminal mastermind

But what can i do

I came here with lots of time

Early last June

With plenty of friends i climbed

Straight to the moon

But she was no friend of mine

Give me the rum the wine

Give me a gun to shine

And watch as I swoon

La di da

I gave up my other life

And ran for the dunes

Watching the ships go by

Night after noon

Winded and over dried

Leather and rawest hide

Broken and calcified

A Mariner croons

La di da
