Build a moat and sink the boat
So no-one can come ashore
Everybody needs some air
A temple they can choose to share
Build a ladder for my anger
Send it up onto a star
Tie the sadness to the boat
That you're sinking in the moat
These are all ghosts of the night
They circle in eternal flight
Do this for me and I will be
Happy for the anger
Listening to the sadness
Company for the lonely
So no-one can come ashore
Everybody needs some air
A temple they can choose to share
Build a ladder for my anger
Send it up onto a star
Tie the sadness to the boat
That you're sinking in the moat
These are all ghosts of the night
They circle in eternal flight
Do this for me and I will be
Happy for the anger
Listening to the sadness
Company for the lonely
