Sweet Billy Pilgrim - Future Perfect Tense

Friend, rouse yourself
'Cause the tide has carried me away
There are fraying and knotted ropes for me to blame
But we know better
Why I am all at sea again

So much for California
So long to everything
So much for California
So long to everything

Friend, as the mercury blooms
So cold inside my chest
Tell my kin of a noble death upon the waves
Beyond all salvage
Barely worth the life and limb

So much for California
I lost my way again
So much for California
I lost my way again

Like an empty promise
A sail becomes a shroud
And the sky is falling down
