Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Mainland lyrics

I said, "I'm just a servant to my base desires" She said, "I'll tell you a few things, free of charge: Stay clear of jagged rock, tread careful at the higher level This ain't no game, but you can play if that's what you want" Then she said, "We are just paper boats bobbing adrift afloat While winds of fortune shove us where they will" Woke up coughing on the shore, called out crowd, broke and sore Back on the mainland, the chimps were coming up trumps And all I saw was burning blue fading into blonde and white Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water Son of a red-roof city and her, the full moon's daughter I'm back on the mainland, back on the mainland Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower On golden sands We stared into the haze, ocean merging with sky We talked about the land of our fore-mothers Now that we've shut the gate, it would be funny if it Didn't make you want to cry This is just the bed we've woken up in And all I saw was burning blue fading into blonde and white Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water Son of a red-roof city and her, the full moon's daughter I'm back on the mainland, back on the mainland Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower Green dreams were folding over as we sailed up the mainland Never coming off the line Wake up feeling fine Her eyes on the pale moonlight Far corner of the earth Tripping up on the edge Big impossible now
