Gunboat Diplomacy - Across the Inland Sea Lyrics

I'd like to get away
Fill my sails with all your tales and see me off in peace
Across the inland sea
Your palanquin recedes
Falling forward so fast asleep, the placid waters climb
To cover up my crimes

I never thought the enemy would ever share a bed with me
You're turning words like keys to unlock sympathies

I hear the creaking boards
Your wires gleam but still it conjures up a scene
On some bridge of dreams

I never thought the enemy would ever share a bed with me
You're turning words like keys to unlock sympathies

I'd like to get away
Fill your minds with all my rhymes; they're only smoke to me
And easier to breathe

I never thought the enemy would ever share a bed with me
You turning words like keys to unlock sympathies

You says its easy-breezy
Well I huffed and puffed but it was never quite enough
To save me from the stuff

I never thought the enemy would ever share a bed with me
You're turning words like keys to unlock sympathies
You're making maps mislead
The forest's getting deep
