Lyrics for You Have Bought Yourself a Boat

It's plain to me to see You have bought yourself a boat Since the last time you and me spoke Your laundry looks so pretty Soft threads hanging and relaxing in the wind You'll feel so much better when you wear these clothes again Clothes again The waves ruin the beach house Every year on your birthday They gave this hurricane your human name How many more bug bites And other subtle misfortunes can I withstand tonight? Someone snuck their mothballs in my headlights The neighbors are cussing And throwing shit in the yard While echoes of the minor leagues Tumble down the road
