Testo: Jon Swift. Bobbing Like Bottles.

I look around to see what's new
Besides Venus and the morning dew,
But nothing has changed
Everything is just a little bit colder.

The trees haven't grown
And the sky is still blue
And the kids are still whining
They want something to do.
And through all that
I seem to have grown a little bit older.

'Cause it aint no use
Nobody knows what to do
We're just bobbing like bottles
On the open ocean blue.

I don't keep track of the date
I just sit around all day and wait
I guess I think I'm gonna realize something
Real soon.

But as the sun is sinking down low
The only thing that I know
Is that I'm the same old idiot
That I was at noon.

'Cause it aint no use
Nobody knows what to do
We're just bobbing like bottles
On the open ocean blue.

I'm living in a mess
But I couldn't care less
'Cause if I clean today
It'll be a mess again
Tomorrow.

The world is shrinking and we're inside it
And there aint no way we can fight it.
So I just sit over here and
Wallow in my sorrow.

'Cause it aint no use
Nobody knows what to do
We're just bobbing like bottles
On the open ocean blue.
