Dock Lyrics
Standing on an Island
Colours to-and-fro
Staring at my leather hands
Pigeons start to go-go
Hold my baby tightly
While the bright lights gleam
Her mind starts to slip-slip
A million BLADES of light green
I, I, I, I
Glide, Glide, Glide
Baby you my boat
Colours to-and-fro
Staring at my leather hands
Pigeons start to go-go
Hold my baby tightly
While the bright lights gleam
Her mind starts to slip-slip
A million BLADES of light green
Glide, Glide, Glide
Baby you my boat

Gabriel mentions that this song is about baseball on the Live at Third Man Records album. Based on the lyrics and the title I figure it's a reference to the time Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter while tripping on LSD in 1970.
