Son, you'd better take it all
They'll tell you where to go
(Walls have ears)
I need to stay afloat
But they take mine
For the summer long
But they don't know
(I'm not comin' down)
They'll tell you what is yours
(Left my sweet soul)
But they won't show
While I suffer
But they won't know
Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
Son, you've gotta wait to fall
Oh, there's a hole inside my boat
I need to be alone
Son, you've got a way to kill
(When nobody's around)
Oh, I've got somethin' in my throat
They'll tell you where to go
They'll tell you what they know
Oh, I've got somethin' in my throat

I need to stay afloat
While I suffer
They're pickin' on you still
For the summer
But they won't know
I need to be alone
(Beneath the bedclothes)
I've got something in my throat
Son, you'd better wait to shine
I need to be alone
(But no one hears)
While I suffer
Oh
Son, you better wait to fall
