Lyrics
you're the soul survivor of my teeny little ship and i would drink you down, babe but you know i'm tryin' to quit and if you come to Paris i would marry you, you see and we would sail away from there one happy family, oh, no.. if you give me comfort i will search to find a tent if you wrap me in silk blankets i will look for a lament you keep me on your pedastal then i will surely fall i'm perfectly imperfect and i'm here to serve you all, oh no.. 'cause i've been walkin on broken glass i don't know how this ferry's gonna last i'm just floatin' on down your shore 'till i reach the edge 'till i reach the edge 'till i reach the edge.. you're the soul survivor of my teeny little ship and i would drink you down babe but i fear to take a sip you know alligators can turn into crocodiles and if you add some wings then you will see that dragon fly, oh no.. you're my soul survivor you're the only one for me come & sail me down, babe beneath your big blue sea and we will go to Paris & dress all up in furs and we will jam beneath the moon i'll wear my hair in curls.. 'cause i've been walkin on broken glass i don't know how this ferry's gonna last i'm just floatin' on down your shore 'till i reach the edge 'till i reach the edge 'till i reach the edge..
