Take You on a Cruise Songtext
von Interpol

I′m timeless like a broken watch
And make money like Fred Astaire
I see that you've come to resist me
I′m a pitbull in time

Your pretense is not what restricts me
It's the circles inside
The anatomy of kisses and a teacher who tries
Who knows how we'll disappear

Would like to be my missus
And in future with child?
You know that we can′t get back from here
But we can get away

Baby, don′t you try to find me
Baby, won't you try to fight
Lady, don′t you try to find me
Baby, it will be all right


Along the way
Tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You′ll never see a finer ship in your life

We sail today
Tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You′ll never see a finer ship
Or receive a better tip in your life

I am the scavenger
Between the sheets of union
Lately I can't tell for sure
Whether machines turn anyone

I am the scavenger
Between the sheets of union
Lately I can't tell for sure
If the machines turn anyone

Lady, don′t you try to find me
Lady, there′s no need to fight
Lady, don't you try to find me
Baby, it will be all right


We sail today
Tears will drown in the wake of delight
There′s nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life

Along the way
The sea will crowd us with lovers at night
There′s nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship
Or receive a better tip in your life

I see that you′ve come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time

White Goddess, red Goddess
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right
Black Goddess, red Goddess
White temptress of the sea, you treat me right

(Oh my love we are sailing to Norway)
White Goddess, red Goddess
(Oh my love we're leaving tonight)
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right

(Oh my love we are sailing to Norway)
White Goddess, red Goddess
(Oh my love we′re leaving tonight)
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right
