See My Ships Lyrics

Violent Femmes See My Ships

See my ships, they are sailing
In and out of the harbor
Will they go together
Or must they stay apart?
Yes, I know it's in my heart

Surely you see what's inside of me
Jesus is coming soon
I can hear Gabriel blow his trumpet tune
This I know, this I know
Our Lord is coming soon

Mercy, mercy me
Marvin Gaye, he was shot by his father
O, my Father
Have mercy on me

Cold Kane, o, my cheap thrill
O my shame for Cain and the Devil
Momma, I need water
I'm thirsty, surely you see
What's inside of me
