about

Proud, tall and majestic - we glide through this life, baring our skin for all to see.

lyrics

Say we watch the moon tonight
Brighter than it’s ever been
A beacon shared by all who live
Upon these open skins
Exposed to wind and weathering
Elements rage free
Anchor momentarily
To let the others in

In and out of clothes we wear
Shows personality
And perseverance with our hair
Important on high seas
Searching past the strongest bough
To where soft ripples lie
Hold our hands upon our helms
And steer firmly too admire

The complex ships in the night, passing by
The complex ships in the night, passing by
The complex ships in the night, passing by
The complex ships in the night
Just passing by, by, by, by, by, by…

By and by these bodies pass
Adorned in pretty things
Sun reflects upon their skin distracting cormorants
And masts hold strong against this current tide of what’s to be
Anchor momentarily
To try local delicacies

We’re complex ships in the night, passing by
We’re complex ships in the night, passing by
We’re complex ships in the night, passing by
We’re complex ships in the night,
Just passing by, by, by, by, by, by…

We’re not empty, we’re not empty, we’re not empty vessels.
