COUPLET 1
Twenty million Rorschach tests and not one single
Fancy couch doctor ever been able to work me out yet.
90 percent of my structure lays calm under water
if Archimedes forced me out that public pool when I was a teenager,
Bubbles trapped in my heart, floating bodies in the harbor
I had to play dead so me brother-in-law wouldn’t drown me any further.
Easy, easy mate, always in the pack, perfect lethargy
they say I was calved out and ridden of, pushed out of the society,
I thought I’d broken apart first, but what happened next made it a lot worse,
you left me, shunting, right here, right in the middle of your fucking sight /
Not to mention, wipe those smirks clean off your satisfied little gobs.
Coz no man in his bleedin right mind here should be showing off.
And if you’re stupid enough to think you’ll be spared, well I got bad news lid,
Your whole world just gave in and I hit rock bottom ,
Caused an earthquake and a volcanic burn,
REFRAIN
I wanna feel the heart of Rose
Don’t wanna be your bedsheet ghost
Head over heels, the iceberg rolls
COUPLET 2
God it’s bloody cold tonight,
Think I got meself frostbites and I could easily do with a romantic little smoke under the stars,
These were the days, back then, when I was a hard rock, bergy gits
Latching on ice lollies and chucking bin lids frisbies at the neighbours cars, didn’t give a shit about surviving, We were the present, the past and the womb,
It’s been quite sometime and I’m pretty sure I felt something crack in the boiler room
Walking down the stairs of my emotions ditch/tomb
Putting back the heat on, I came across a frozen goon, I said what
Seems to be the matter Jack? He said “this ship can’t sink
Come on bitch, take my hand out this catacomb”
Shit that can’t be undone
Shit that’d make an iceberg believe the Titanic was his own bloody fate.
I seen some shit.
But the one thing that keeps GETting at me EVery FRIGgging TIME, (no matter what)
It’s… I know it’s stupid, I know it is. And it’s melting me core right down to the coombe and I got no ways of stopping it
But the cave is crystal blue now I feel I could almost flip again.
I might get there faster you know, I might..?
REFRAIN
I wanna feel the heart of Rose
Don’t wanna be your bedsheet ghost
Head over heels, the iceberg rolls
Black ice on my floe
I wanna heal the heart of Rose
Aint gonna be your bedsheet ghost
Head under teal, the iceberg glows
PONT
I wanna make it to the gold coast, hit my final goal posts,
Got’ah stay focused, I’m the bedsheet ghost (boat)
Hold me in your arms Jack, warm up my floe
Head to the gold coast, hit my final goal posts,
Got’ah stay focused, I’m the bedsheet ghost (boat)
Hold me in your arms Jack, take off my coat
Black ice on my floe,
Black ice on my floe,
Black ice on my floe,
Black ice on my floe,
Black ice on my floe.
