[Verse 1]
Ticking of the clock
The crash upon the rocks
This is it, I guess
S.O.S.
Slowly took your best
As you tried to stay afloat
You swallow what you can
And the rest you sugarcoat

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the guard just looked away
And the moment has her say

[Chorus]
She said, "These storms are too strong on the sea of my winter
Look at me, I'm all cursed with this thirst to remember
If my lips touch the Host, I'll be all right
And we all feel the crush, velvet glove, starlight"

[Verse 2]
Here's the trapeze act
Landing in your lap
Kill the safety net
S.O.S.
Play hard, then we're gone
Are we still having fun
Then you break for home
Like Jackie Robinson
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The spirit will take wings
Adagio for Strings

[Chorus]
Said, "These storms are too strong on the sea of my winter
Look at me, I'm all cursed with this thirst to remember
If my lips touch the Host, I'll be all right
Don't we all feel the crush, velvet glove, starlight?
And we all feel the crush, velvet glove, starlight"
