lyrics

Down at the docks,
itʼs a crazy scene
The smell of fish, cigarettes, and gasoline

And all I can ask is
Where is the Lord now?
Can I see him on a severed head?
on a tortured brow?

Down at the docks
they collect their fees,
wheeling out carts of stolen car-batteries.

They use the ocean as their trashcan for free.
But somehow no one spits directly in the sea.

I am a fish, I am a man
Free as the mussel and the clam
who try to carve out their place so close to land.
Almost makes me want to do the best I can.
