[Verse 1]
I think I died this time
Suffered bullet holes and stab wounds in my side
I think I'm solving crime
I've got a couple of clues and a hunch that swells like a fool boy

[Chorus]
Time, make time for us, make time for us
Can't even sing for words
You know I'm far too shameful
It's nothing

[Verse 2]
I think I've lost my map
I've got some figures and facts and other clues that help follow your tracks
I think I've lost my legs
Knowing me, they're sittin' at the bottom of the deep blue sea

[Chorus]
Make time for us, make time for us
Can't even sing for words
You know I'm far too shameful

[Bridge]
Ships with, ships with holes will sink and I will swim
Ships with, ships with holes will sink and I will
Ships with, ships with holes will sink and I will swim, swim
