Bote Lyrics - Mines - Menomena

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now 

I pray lord please help me right 

This ship today 

Cause I can't take much more 

Of this strain on my battered hull. 

I thought I was tough 

I thought I was strong 

Thought I could handle anyone who came along 

Thought the worth of a boat 

in how well it floats 

And this old boat won't float for long with all these holes 

So I grab both sides with iron will 

It's fit for war but weighs too much and starts to fill 

Now I'm clutching the sides as long as I can 

It's much too cold to swim 

And much too deep to stand. 

When I started off down this path 

I was well aware of the facts 

And despite the proof I have vowed to choose 

I continue bearing these (?) 

I thought I was quick 

as smart as a whip 

I guess I met my match 

Best stiffen up, my lip. 

My wit's getting weak 

The sea's on the rise 

And here I sit exposed 

atop the lying side 

I thought I was tough 

I thought I was strong 

But I can't stay aboard this sinking ship for long 

I thought I was quick 

Smart as a whip 

I guess I met my match this time 

I'll take my licks. 

And when push always comes to shove 

And I feel like enough's enough 

And despite the shit-storm that's pounding my home 

I walk outside and set off. 

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now 

Oh sea legs please don't fail me now
