The Privatest Parts by The Liptonians Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The ship was once full I guess
With dry leaves and cigarettes
Waiting for sparks
From the mouths of the sailor boys
With brown teeth and cheap decoys
Living in parallel lives

[Verse 2]
The wind blew the salt to eyes
Blinding old alibis
Of dolphins and mermaids
Who swam about topless
With daggers and pockets
For hearts when too tired to fight

[Bridge 1]
Oh-oo-oh, the stops and the starts
Oh-oo-oh, the privatest parts

[Verse 3]
Swimming down under
With no one to plunder
But shipwrecked souls
Gone too far from their shanties
Filled with fool-hearted fir trees
Ship bricks and tenuous lies
[Verse 4]
Come swim in my ocean
Filled with crude oil potions
To help you forget
And we'll sink deep together
In seaweed-y tethers
For lusty injections and crimes

[Bridge 2]
Oh-oo-oh, delicate heart
Oh-oo-oh, its deceptive art

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Grab rope legs and hatchets
And bulletproof jackets and dance
Swim with your swollen feet
Surrounded with coral reef fans
Stop with the stalling
Beauty's a-calling you now
Come on in the ocean, boys
Make your own drowning go down

[Instrumental]
