These United States - Susie at the Shore lyrics

We must begin at the beginning, with the pirates at port An ancient secret leaks from deep ocean floors Lap the water, whispering tease and clattering oars All aboard who is going aboard We got our selves an atlantis-tican tour We steer our ships out to the seashore, where Susie sells her shells We saw the same shameful sights we see inside ourselves There are is a whole list of lies that even time won't tell, time will not tell Tide heeds its hieroglyphic dead sea scrolls Stone document intent on tallying the toll Sins of omisson, sins of pride I can't believe these things we spy with our eyes out We got ourselves on hell-o-isco ride out (ride out) We pour our Napaz out to the bay mouth where Susie shakes her bells We see the same shameful sights that we sense inside our selves There are a boat load of pirates, think their ship doesn't smell (Where) Way long way (When) So far ago (Who) I can't say exactly (Why) I just dont know (How) Same crime as always (What) ...but i just told I tell you what, I tell you what I just told We steered our ships out to the seashore where Susie sells her shells We saw the same shameful sight that we see inside ourselves She swears a sink hole to a city through the blue surface fell If there's a man left on unguilty I am wishing his well
