lyrics

The barnacles upon their hats
And their three-hundred-year-old cats
Long hair and fingernails
Peeking out of the gunwales
The seaweed dried up on their coats
Like the songs stuck in their throats

Amidst the remnants of old crews
I misheard the Silver Jews
I thought what Berman said was this:
“What is not but could be is”
In the stairwell between floors
What was not became what was

Listening to the sailor ghosts
Listening to their mournful toasts
Long hair and fingernails
Covered with moss and scales
Singing about what they miss
When they could laugh and drink and kiss

I was enjoying the sea views
When I misheard the Silver Jews
I thought what Berman said was this:
“What is not but could be is”
In the stairwell between floors
What was not became what was
