Ho Hey - The Lumineers | English

I believe submarines Underneath deep blue seas Saw the flags Japanese No one will believe me Ran back to the town bar And I told the people how I had seen the submarine And everyone laughed aloud I did spy periscopes Dead of night on the eastern coast The police made them jokes Told me I'd seen a ghost Everyone thinks I'm a liar No one knows the truth If it was a bigger fire I would be on the roof Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay (Let me go!) No one trusts what I say (I don't know!) Oh my God, no one paid (Attention!) Overnight, my hair turned grey (Oh oh oh!) In the end it boils down to credibility I had none, so I will die with the secrets of the sea (Submarine can't find me!) Submarine (Submarine!)

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my back-seat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guest room It's a bed and a bathroom And a place for the end I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
