Correct lyrics :

This rock of ours is just some big mistake, And we will never know just where we go, Or where we have came from, These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse, And when they light up, and my mind blows up, My heart is amused, So this heart of mine is just some sort of map, That care about or worry about Where the hell you’re at But you're right there.

Well, I've been meaning to dismiss you, yeah, I had some plans to dismiss you so, Stand by, by, by, by, by, by, Where's my sugar boats? As soon as you paint every last grain of sand as soon as you Soon as you paint every star in the sky, sky sky, sky sky Where's my sugar boats? So I’m swatting at mosquitoes as they’re orbiting me, I'm growing in the sun, And this goes on and on and on you see, This heart of mine is just some broke machine, And when it gets going and it often gets going, and blowing steam, Here we go again.

This rock of ours is just some big mistake, And we will never know just where we go, Or where we have came from, This watch of mine is just some sort of book, Because when I look in and I shouldn't look in, I see it swallow my time, oh no.

Well, I ain't getting on no fast plane, Hell I ain't getting on no stuffy train, My sugar boats on the Atlantic are fine, The sugar boats they're just fine, I'll stand on the decks so you could see, I'll stand on the decks so you could wave, Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, Here's a ghost that goes and waves bye, Bye, bye, bye, bye, Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

I'm the ghost that goes and waves bye, Bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Better, but not entirely right, either. There are a couple instances where these lyrics are of.

Feel free to correct them/add your version.

@Cyberghost I took your original lyrics and modified them after listening to this song multiple times with headphones...

This rock of ours is just some big mistake, And we will never know just where we go, Or where we have came from, These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse, And when they light up, and my mind blows up, My heart is amused, So this heart of mine is just some sort of map, That doesn't care at all or worry about Where the hell you’re at But you're right there.

Well, I've been meaning to...
