One in Six Children Will Flee in Boats Lyrics
(Oh) Silver gnomes all in my dome
and cameras (hoo) they can finally roam, roam
By themselves, they've got hearts to moan, to moan
And friends of mine who have got friends with coke
Oh Rabbit, rabbit, (oh) you've this habit of breaking legs in nouveau carat
And my heart has passed its final right of woe, it's breaking legs for dollars
Oh them boards, they keep on creaking-creaking in my head
Oh these blue, oh these boards keep on creaking-creaking in my head
Oh, these blue boards (2) creaking on my ship
And through the light is an undescribed sanction,
where you're questioning him from blue-black dirt
Over that ridge a hunter lives, stake him out with broken gifts
By the light, by the merry man who gave his lives when he gave knives to children
Oh, Raise him up, Oh stake him up, grab the son and drink his blood in cups
Oh, Don't wait to be a monarch, man
Oh I'll bet you can, Oh I know you can
Oh blue, oh these boards keep on creaking-creaking in my head (2)
Oh these blue boards(2) creaking on my ship
Oh, the light is taking its time
Who'd you question, blue-blue-black dirt
and cameras (hoo) they can finally roam, roam
By themselves, they've got hearts to moan, to moan
And friends of mine who have got friends with coke
And my heart has passed its final right of woe, it's breaking legs for dollars
Oh these blue, oh these boards keep on creaking-creaking in my head
Oh, these blue boards (2) creaking on my ship
where you're questioning him from blue-black dirt
By the light, by the merry man who gave his lives when he gave knives to children
Oh, Raise him up, Oh stake him up, grab the son and drink his blood in cups
Oh I'll bet you can, Oh I know you can
Oh these blue boards(2) creaking on my ship
Who'd you question, blue-blue-black dirt

weird.. i love it
what a beautiful song. and what bizarre and beautiful images.
corrections:
"camera's can begin to roam - by themselves"
"blue blue boards they keep on their creaking in my head/ quit your creaking on my ship"
"oh even though i bet you can"
Haha i thought "blue boards" was simply "bones" and i thought "breaking legs" was "vacant lakes"... Either I'm a terrible decipherer of lyrics or Mercer is the indecipherable one.
Either way, the piano in the chorus is absolutely magnificent.
