Des Moines Songtext
von Engine 88

Twirling a harpoon carefully carved from sticks of bamboo
Scanning the gray waves for the gray whales this afternoon
Isn′t everything right?
Is this water my mind?
Am I already marooned?
Where do my eyes end and the water begin?
Will I know it soon?
Did it wake me up or happen to be killing?
Did it wake me up or happen to be killing?
Break my bones
It happens to be everything
Break my bones
Silver sardines fill the boat with a glow from the bottom of the sea
The edge of the arrow, it shines in my head like a memory of living
Isn't everything right?
Is this water my mind?


Am I already marooned?
Where do my eyes end and the white birds begin?
Will I know it soon?
Did it wake me up or happen to be killing?
Did it wake me up or happen to be killing?
Break my bones
It happens to be everything
Break my bones
There′s something so unfamiliar in pieces of pieces of pieces of me
Break my bones
It happens to be everything
Break my bones
It happens to be everything
Break my bones
It happens to be everything
Break my bones
