This is the accent of the half hearted land
Does it all make sense now
And if the ship was built in bottled sand
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Of a bivouac tenure
The tropic of cancer answered
Drink the quicksand
A mirror was splintered on the deck floor
Does it all make sense now
A stowaway that lived beneath this hull
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Or bivouac tenure
This tropic of cancer answered;
Drink the quicksand
It's gills will swim faster after a branch
From the shore
Breathe the taste of salt water
Dry heave up and overboard
Ponce De Leon wrinkles
Let's make it young again
Boat drinks for captains
Row our boat away stowaway
It all makes sense now
If our map was torn navigate, navigate
If your compass broke navigate, navigate
Does it all make sense now
And if the ship was built in bottled sand
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Of a bivouac tenure
The tropic of cancer answered
Drink the quicksand
A mirror was splintered on the deck floor
Does it all make sense now
A stowaway that lived beneath this hull
Does it all make sense now
The anchors kiss was scrawled
In dyslexic crayon
Yes it all makes sense now
Is this just a life preserver
Or bivouac tenure
This tropic of cancer answered;
Drink the quicksand
It's gills will swim faster after a branch
From the shore
Breathe the taste of salt water
Dry heave up and overboard
Ponce De Leon wrinkles
Let's make it young again
Boat drinks for captains
Row our boat away stowaway
It all makes sense now
If our map was torn navigate, navigate
If your compass broke navigate, navigate

While it about their van crashing and the hard times touring, he was comparing it to Ponce de Leon's quest for the fountain of youth. "Drink the quicksand" refers to how de Leon was searching in vein and rather than drinking from the fountain of youth, he was drinking quicksand. "Ket's make it young again", fountain of youth refrence again. "if our map was torn, navigate, navigate if your compass broke, navigate, navigate", refers to searching and never giving up. "ponce de leon wrinkles" how he is getting older trying to find it. You guys need to take some history lessons, how could you miss it ;D
@tunafizzle Yes, but it's called metaphors man. Just because he is talking about Ponce De Leon's quest doesn't mean that's what the song is about. He could be relating himself to Ponce De Leon, but dealing with something completely different.
