Lifeboat

I float in a boat

In a raging black ocean, low in the water

And nowhere to go

The tiniest lifeboat

With people I know

Cold, clammy, and crowded

The people smell desperate

We'll sink any minute

So someone must go

The tiniest lifeboat

With people I know

Everyone's pushing, everyone's fighting

Storms are approaching, there's nowhere to hide

If I say the wrong thing, or I wear the wrong outfit

They'll throw me right over the side

I'm hugging my knees

And the captain is pointing

Well, who made her captain?

Still, the weakest must go

The tiniest lifeboat

Full of people I know

The tiniest lifeboat

Full of people I know
