A Knife In The Ocean

Foals Foals

When I come to walk the line
The fire may come, but we'll be just fine
When I go to walk the line
The fire, it will come but we'll be just fine

Mouth of the ocean, be well spoken
Watch your P's and Q's
And now that we're older, the future is colder
But what is there to do?

I'll walk the line, I'll be just fine
I'll be right back on time
The fire is coming, but we'll outrun it
We'll never be undone

What came of the things we once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
Oh, what came of the things we once believed?
Oh, long gone to the depths of a hungry sea

And now our parents are long departed
Who can finish the songs they started?
Bodies are broken, but it's just a token
Of what is surely to come

Unstitch the suture, please pause the future
So I can collect my things
The fire is coming, but we'll outrun it
We'll never be undone

What came of the things we once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
Oh, what came of the things I once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea

When I go to walk the line
The fire it comes, but I'll be just fine

What came of the things we once believed?
Oh, all lost to the depths of a hungry sea
Oh, all lost and, oh, all lost, to the depths of a hungry sea
Oh, long gone to the depths of a hungry sea

All that's left, all that's left is the echo of a roaring sea
Long gone now, long gone to the trace of a memory

What came of the things I once believed?
All that's left, all that's left
Is the trace of a memory
