Little Empty Boat Lyrics

    You found me at some party
    You thought i'd understand
    You barreled over to me
    With a drink in each hand
    I respect your beliefs, girl,
    And i consider you a friend,
    But i've already been born once,
    I don't wanna to be born again.


    Your knowledge is impressive
    And your argument is good
    But i am the resurrection, babe,
    And you're standing on my foot!


    But my little boat is empty
    It don't go
    And my oar is broken
    It don't row, row, row
    But my little boat is empty
    It don't go
    And my oar is broken
    It don't row, row, row
    (row!)


    Your tiny little face
    Keeps yapping in the gloom
    Seven steps behind me
    With your dustpan and broom.
    I couldn't help but imagine you
    All postured and prone
    But there's a little guy on my shoulder
    Says i should go home alone.
    You keep leaning in on me
    And you're looking pretty pissed
    That grave you've dug between your legs
    Is hard to resist.


    But my little boat is empty
    It don't go
    And my oar is broken
    It don't row, row, row
    But my little boat is empty
    It don't go
    And my oar is broken
    It don't row, row, row


    Give to god what belongs to god
    And give the rest to me
    Tell our gracious host to fuck himself
    It's time for us to leave.


    But my little boat is empty
    It don't go
    And my oar is broken
    It don't row, row, row
    But my little boat is empty
    It don't go
    And my oar is broken
    It don't row, row, row
    Row...row...row...row...
