Lyrics

Gotham churns, an urban ocean.
Lights in office windows burn like stars
We’re wasting our time here. 
It’s nickel and dime here,
And I’m a bandit not a banker.
I am a better ship than an anchor. 

Wrote this song instead of sleeping
Sing these words so I can say ‘em.
We’ve run out of steam here
We scratch and we scream here.
I tried to be her rock and I sank her
I am a better ship than an anchor.

Noise in my head
Poisons my bed
Again.
Ports in a storm
Chalk on a sidewalk.
Rain, rain.
Rain, rain.

One by one our totems tumble
Two by two our motors stall
We’re dead in the water
Fish to the slaughter
Fiddle while Gotham falls.

She offered me a sip and I drank her
I am a better ship than an anchor.

Slow to learn and quick to anger
I am a better ship than an anchor.

She asks me for a kiss and I spank her
I am a better ship than an anchor.

I am a better ship than an anchor.
