Ship In A Bottle lyrics

I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open

That fixes all of life's mistakes

I wanna be the house that you were raised in

The only place that you feel safe

I wanna be a shower in the morning

That wakes you up and makes you clean

I know I'm just the weather againt your window

As you sleep through a winter's dream

Someones churning the earth

Someone's stirring the sky

Every color at once in a column of lights

Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide

The worm in my heart's the apple of your eye

Don't adore what is impossible

We have built this ship in a wine bottle

But if you knew how it worked

We'd have to grow old

Someone's eating at you, wakes you up in the night

If you're digging the past, who knows what you'll find

Read the newspaper print off the microfiche slide

And you're holding your breath for the rest of your life

Don't you love what is intangible

I have built this ship in a wine bottle

But if you knew who I was...

You would never grow old
