God knows what I’m going to do God knows what to do God knows what to do So, your highness I went to find you land For a reason that I still don’t understand But the passage it trapped us in the snow And the boats you thought had found us They founder in the ice And slip below God knows what I’m going to do With the world that I found for you God knows what I’m going to be And it spoils the ending for me And it spoils the ending for me Oh, my family Are ghosts upon the deck And I wear them in a locket round my neck And as the winter Obliterates their names The Lord is in this place But how terrible this place is All the same God knows what I’m going to do With the world that I found for you God knows what I’m going to be And it spoils the ending for me And it spoils the ending for me The Lord is in this place But how terrible this place is All the same God knows what I’m going to do God knows what to do God knows what I’m going to do God knows what to do God knows what to do

We’re going to die here They’ll pick us off one at a time I didn’t catch your names But I don’t care Surnames is fine They’ll bury us under the snow Or in space where nobody knows That you scream all the time Oh Don’t lie You’re scared And you don’t why We lost Windows and Pinback And all that we’ll bring back is Jones So cut all the engines We’re ten little Indians I know It’s dark out here and it’s cold And nobody ever grows old But we’re paid for our time Oh Don’t cry You’re scared And you don’t know why Send my money home Send my body home

Here Then it’s gone This is a season that Won’t last long Don’t Go to sleep When the sky turns red We’ll crawl to bed On our hands and knees But when the world wakes up And we’re feeling as rough as fuck Oh there’s nothing I want And nothing I need But us I Hate this town I dream a sweet dream sometimes Where I tear it down But you Saved my life And we’ve drunk enough garage wine That I won’t mind If we both survive When the world wakes up And we’re feeling as rough as fuck Well, there’s nothing I want And nothing I need There’s nothing I need And nothing I want But us It’s here Then it’s gone That was a season that Won’t last long
