Oberst - Dreambeast Lyrics

Thick skinned, steel bones and so slim
Oh the feelings her shapes are evoking
So complex, so deep when she's smoking
On her belly, no stress, she's just floating
Oh
She's not perfect but we got her together
On heavy days, she's light as a feather
A safe place, for weary souls
Safe from the wolves, away from the cold

Waves come, waves go, they wave past
Through the turmoil and drama we hold fast
We gave you a bottle of wine
Our lives in your hands as we undid the lines
Oh
We're a message in a bottle, for those to come
A reminder of the things we did wrong
So long, we're too far gone

Like a dying satellite
In the fjords of the afterlife
She'll be, my last friend
My last home, my swan song

I run my hands down her ice cold skin
I feel the seams, all her dents and her dings
Sure hope this holds, all the nuts and the bolts
She's not pretty, but she sure looks strong
