lyrics

Christians preach forgiveness
but they still have their own limits
You know, a prison's not a prison
without the sinners that live in it
The universe is irritating
and everything goes wrong
What else can you do
except cry or sing along?

So don't mind me
I'm just floating in the sea
Waiting for the lifeboat
to rescue me

Awarded a gold medal
for the courage you have shown
Step out into the street
to find that you are still unknown
The universe seems so unfair
and everything falls down
The only thing that's up to you
is to smile or to frown

So don't mind me
I'm just floating in the sea
Waiting for the lifeboat
to rescue me

You've always been so popular
but they all call you a tease
You don't mean nothing by it
you're just scared of the disease
The universe can be so cruel
and everyone is insane
Just remember that you don't
have to play their game

So don't mind me
I'm just floating in the sea
Waiting for the lifeboat
to rescue me
