Lyrics

The moat in my eyes never bring me no sleep
Just to strap me inside with the demons I keep
Gotta leave me alone, gotta let it belong
Tired of living, too tired to die
Made the sharks keep swimming when he don't know why
Gotta get the lean fin
Only thin that he wears

Chorus
Nursing me to the movie control
Nursing me to the bureau and through
Nursing me to the median lobe
Nursing me in the nursing home

Sitting and rocking and an old man comes
Just to prop up my feet with a broken old hose
Stop riding those rails
Stop setting those sails

He likes boom boogie
He's got an old trombone
While he's stamping out the fires with a broken beat tone
Got a troubled soul
But he's not that cold

[Repeat chorus]

I've been alive ten years in a nursing home

Stinking on water I could get me a bullet
He needs to keep that gravy on the wake of pot roast
Got a fire inside
It's gonna burn him alive

Talking in circles to the roofing dome
Got a bed three² in the nursing home
Gonna say bye-bye
He's gonna walk on by
