Sand Dollars Lyrics - Stereolithic - 311

I've been humming a high note 

Maybe something that I wrote 

Out sailing in my boat 

I'm not really sure 

I'm still singing the same tune 

I've been kicking around since June 

All morning and afternoon 

Now it's all a blur 

I've been listening to sea shells 

To hear the stories that they tell 

Of high times and tide swells 

That have yet to occur 

Backsliding down the drain 

Partially taking all the blame 

Chasing coins to fill the purse 

Is it really better or for worse 

Is it a blessing or a curse 

To pass the buck 

Is it a bounty or a bust 

Is it precious metal or just rust 

Well it seems it's up to us 

So wish us luck 

I kept making a U-turn 

Ended up with a sunburn 

But the lesson that I learned 

Was worth the skin that peeled 

I climbed so many mountains 

It's not even worth counting 

All the drinks in the fountain 

Before it was revealed 

Backsliding down the drain 

Partially taking all the blame 

From the copper to the kettle 

The stamen to the petal 

We watch the value of sand dollars crumble 

Chasing coins to fill the purse 

Is it really better or for worse 

Is it a blessing or a curse 

To pass the buck 

Is it a bounty or a bust 

Is it precious metal or just rust 

Well it seems it's up to us 

So wish us luck
