March Into The Sea Lyrics - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

If food do you please 

And you suck all the seasoning off 

Suck it off 

Well, treat me like disease 

Like the rats and the fleas 

Aha ha! Aha ha! 

Bang your head like a gong 

'Cause it's filled with all wrong 

Aha ha! Clang, clang, clang! 

If you think you know enough to know you know we've had enough 

And if you think you don't, you probably will 

Our tails wagged and then fell off 

But we just turned back, marched into the sea 

Well, treat me like the sea 

Oh-so salty and mean 

Aha ha! Oh, ha ha! 

Well, treat me like disease 

Like the rats and the fleas 

Aha ha! Ha! 

I'll be beating my heart's record for speeding 

I'll be beating the record for heart skipping 

Oh, the doggone tails; well, they fell off 

But we just turned back, marched into the sea 

Well, we just turned around, marched into the sea 

Take all that you need 

Let my saxophone free 

Till it's gone, till it's gone 

Well, this coffee you bleed 

Like the leaves of a tree 

Aha ha! Aha ha! 

Let's shake hands if you want 

But you - both hands are gone! 

Oh, haha! Haha! 

Well, treat me like the sea 

I'm so salty and mean 

Aha ha 

Oh, treat me like the sea 

Oh-so salty and mean 

Aha ha 

Well, treat me like the leaves 

Like the rats and the fleas 

Bang your head like a gong 

'Cause you called it all wrong 

Move your tune 

Clang, clang 

Clang, clang 

Clang, clang 

Clang, clang! 

Cut me down like the trees 

Like the lumber or weeds 

Drag me out of the sea 

And then teach me to breathe 

Give me forests half dead 

I wish death on myself 

Give me forests so dead 

I wish death on myself 

Aha ha! 

Aha! 

Aha! 

Aha! 

Aha! 

Well, we all saw the rat 

Take a happy encore 

For the phone speaks we all 

And the running bulls 

Aha ha! 

March on! March on! March on! March on! 

Well, march on!
