Sea of Mistakes

Sea of Mistakes

 

This is a song about a girl who's made many, many, many mistakes in her life; it's a rap song that features banjo and cat.

The lyrics are:

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes

A bird on her shoulder told her about the stupid things she's done

She's fumbled, and stumbled, and bumbled, and tumbled

Down and down and down and down to the bottom of the sea of mistakes

Her mind's burning and churning: It's a stern thing, now that she's learning

She should have turned left, but she turned right

She feels stupid now that she's seen the light

She's beating up on herself with all her might

No matter what she does, she can't make it right

Her life is the bones from the shipwreck; she feels all alone; no hands are on deck

There's nothing that she can do but say, "oh, heck"

And the bird on her shoulder gives her a peck

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes

She moved when she should have stayed put

She tripped over her own stupid foot

She went to the wrong damn school

And now she feels like an old old fool

The bottom of the sea of mistakes

Is littered with bones of men she's dated

People might say it is just fate

But she knows that she picks the wrong mates

Her life is a Choose Your Own Adventure book, I must say

And it is clear that she is always going the wrong way

Turn to page 300 for the wrong turn that you just took

It's happened way too many times for it to be a fluke

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes

And you may wonder if there is buried treasure underneath

The shipwreck, but it is just a stupid, dumb funeral wreath

For a life that never was what she wanted - that's because

She keeps on making mistakes, and she'll die until she breaks

Do not go fishing in this land

You might end up with something not grand

You might reel in the bones of mistakes and

You should have left them buried in the sand

If they get on your fishing hook

Just throw them away, and never look...

...Back - it is the bones of wrong turns that she took 

Her bad decisions were earthquakes that shook

I'm drowning

I'm drowning in the Sea of Mistakes
