The Germ Inside

Complete disinterest was the germ inside the word
That I believed was hope
But I got it all wrong
Inside this miracle, still swinging from its rope
Advice I never heard
Or maybe just took all wrong
And I would drown myself in wine
With the only living friend that I could find
That don’t get me all wrong
Aboard the battleship you’re sailing or you’re sunk
But we’ll be buoyant soon
Or I’ll get it all wrong
Inside your harbour, navigating by the moon
And all the crew are drunk
So they can’t be all wrong
So I’l drown myself in wine
With the only living friends that I can find
If they leave me all adrift on foreign shores
Would it be so wrong of me to crash at yours?
But don’t get me all wrong
No, don’t get me all wrong
Oh the fortune
You’re the germ inside the word
Still, I gotta watch you now
'Cos you’re all I really want
But there’s a hunter
Like a parasite inside
I gotta wonder
If it’s all I really am
Oh the fortune
You were all my easy virtues
But my own mind
Was the war zone in my own mind
Oh the fortune (fortune)
You’re the germ inside the word
Still, I gotta watch you now (watch you)
'Cos you’re all I really want
But here’s a problem there’s a hunter
Like a parasite inside
I gotta wonder (wonder)
If it’s all I really am
Oh the fortune
You were all my easy virtues
But my own mind
Was the war zone in my own mind, yeah
Fortune
You were all my easy virtues
But my own mind
Was the war zone in my own mind, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
