lyrics

Ten feet from the tarmac
Can see the Caribbean from here
Take another glance back
Customs just put me in the clear

Running on a whiskey fever
The oxygen is thick
Under the seat lies my salvation
Gonna strike a vain this time, gonna make it stick

The Atlantic Sea is laughing
It's washing away my sins
As I wave goodbye to the urban sky
And can let the end begin

Seventeen accounts of larceny
Twenty three search and seizures
My past is rattling out of the fuselage
Sometimes life brings a turbulent leisure

Lived a Rumplstiltskin survival
No one ever learned my name
I wear a hunchback of all things useless
And all things valuable
The things no one ever claims

The Atlantic Sea is laughing
It's washing away my sins
As I wave goodbye to the urban sky
I can let the end begin

Don't no one have to wheel that barrel
I'll bury my soul on my own
With a jackhammer and some opiates
I'll be mining the devil's throne

These concealed chains will not stop me
Have only white blood to bleed
I'll carry myself on a preacher's time
And cut lines with the infallible breed

The Atlantic Sea is laughing
It's washing away my sins
As I wave goodbye to the urban sky
I can let the end begin
