lyrics

Darling, when we're older we won't ever have to worry about the things we worry about now.
I've got a chance to fix it all.
Down on the docks, I heard them whispering a fury about a freighter with a hole in the bow.
I've got a plan to take the haul.
These broken bones may never heal again
These broken bones may never mend

I'll wait for his shift
Go in through the guardhouse
The bleary-eyed old watchman is never awake

Got a man on the ship
There to cart all the jewels out
The stevedores are in for a third of the take

And I don't think they're onto me

There comes a time to take the things you're owed

From down in the hold
I hear bedlam and boot heels
My my callow young accomplice is diming me out
All our precious plans and wishes
Are nothing more than body English
We're drunken little giants boxing the clouds

I love you, but they'll never let me go

I know that you want it to be
The way I said it would be
And I'm wrong for every lie I've ever told
The city's going to claim another life
As they watch it unfold with a passing spite that they save for my kind

I love you, but they'll never let me go
Please let me go
Let me go!

(suspended animation)
I ran for my life
But they had me surrounded
Those mercenary cutthroats and dogs of the state

I guess you were right
I looked for trouble and found it
My sorry soul was always a prisoner to fate

But it’s not what I want to be
