Set Sail, Set Fire

Hello Diary, it's been awhile
We're writing to tell you we've still got a smile
With all we've been through we're still on our feet
We're stuck in a pattern time and time again set to Repeat
Set sail, set fire
Oh well we're still on our feet

Set sail, set fire, sink, repeat

I got a new job at the bagel shop
The kids are nice there and she eats a lot
All goes well for about a month
Now her boss won't pay her I guess she should start to show up
Set sail, set fire
Oh well there's always next month

Set sail, set fire, sink, repeat

I got a new place down at the beach
She can swim, sail, and surf there, all within reach
All goes well for about a week
There's a flood on the first floor
I guess she could have fixed that leak
Oh well there's always next week

Set sail, set fire
Set sail, set fire, sink, repeat

I met a new boy down at Joe's Place
I approve cuz he's got a real cute face
And all goes well for about an hour
His lips were sweet but I think his girlfriend is sour
Oh well there's always next hour

Set sail, set fire, sink, repeat

I quit smoking just yesterday
It's 24 hours and she's feeling ok
All goes well for about a day
But now that she's thinking, it's too much to take
We lost our jobs, our house, our boyfriends,
For Heaven's sake
We're going outside now for a ciggarette break
For Heaven's sake

Set sail, set fire, sink repeat
Set sail, set fire, sink repeat
