Devotchka – All the Sand in All the Seas Lyrics 15 years ago
A few corrections. He doesn't sing exactly what's in the liner notes, but they help with some of the words he pronounces creatively.

All your precious souls
Have been bought and sold
For bargain basement lows
To common criminals

So you're having visions
Adverse flying conditions
Overseas transmissions
To anyone who will listen

You're waiting for the drums to kick in
You wanna free your earthbound limbs
I am gonna count to three
Then you are leaving here with me.

Are we wasting all our precious time?
Chasing dollars chasing dimes.
German English Japanese
All the sand in all the seas
It's all in place
It's laid out
And as we speak it's going down.
And don't forget me
Regretfully
Here's the part that always gets me.

You float across the room
Your lips in full bloom.
Pedals fall from you mouth
Have you found me out?

You've been here before
A lovers civil war
I'll wait religiously
Don't forget that you came here with me.

Are we wasting all our precious time?
Chasing dollars chasing dimes.
German English Japanese
All the sand in all the seas
It's all in place
It's laid out
And as we speak it's going down.
And don't forget me
Regretfully
Here's the part that always gets me.
