SONIC YOUTH LYRICS - Leaky Lifeboat (For Gregory Corso)

"Leaky Lifeboat (For Gregory Corso)"



Leaky lifeboat

Sleeps off shore

Now we're sailing backwards

To the freaky north



My brother the wind

He's got to know

We've got to get it together

And blow



Slipping sideways

Get it straight

The siren sonars

Are tempting fate



Fates in a pleasant mood today

I don't get around much, but hey

I got to say

The sun's got to play



La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la



Leaky lifeboat

Called to shore

You got another

Chance to score



My brother the wind

He's got to know

We've got to get it together

And blow

Before the sun gets cold

Cold to gold



La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
