lyrics

Throwing A Donner Party At Sea (Physeter catodon)

Our ship struck twice by a whale
Now dig in and bail before it is too late

With the brine up to our knees
All I can think is how you’ll be first to be eaten

You will
You will

With the shit this deep you have to leave
All the things behind that you can’t eat
Far too many adrift at sea
You are our chosen source of meat

With the brine up to our knees
All I can think is how you’ll be first to be eaten

You will
You will
