Iron beams are turning red
Cold salt wind is in my head
Green vines wrap the rusted rail
Heavy clouds are turning pale
Steel is sinking in the mud
Water rushing like a flood
Hold the line and keep the pace
Looking for a hidden place
Moss on the gear and oil on the floor
I can't find the way to the door
Green on the gear and salt in the air
Racing through a concrete snare
Copper wires hang like a rope
Sinking low without a hope
Cracked glass on the engine bay
Turning black to leaden gray
Steel is sinking in the mud
Water rushing like a flood
Hold the line and keep the pace
Looking for a hidden place
Moss on the gear and oil on the floor
I can't find the way to the door
Green on the gear and salt in the air
Racing through a concrete snare
Old cranes tilt against the sky
Watch the heavy gulls fly high
Concrete slabs are breaking free
Sinking down into the sea
Screaming brakes and grinding stone
Standing on the deck alone
Suns come up and winds blow cold
Stories that were never told
Moss on the gear and oil on the floor
I can't find the way to the door
Green on the gear and salt in the air
Racing through a concrete snare
Tide is rising fast and deep
While the broken cities sleep
I will steer the ferry home
Cutting through the bitter foam
Moss on the gear and oil on the floor
I can't find the way to the door
Green on the gear and salt in the air
Racing through a concrete snare
Racing through the snare Keep the watch!
