Lyrics:

Long September, working my machine
I got oil stains on my skin

I got jelly green and spirit white
But I can't seem to get myself clean

I guess I'll call it a day now
'Cause I think my ship's coming, yeah
I see it waiting over there in the dry dock
I gotta find out why it just won't float, yeah
It looks alright to the untrained eye
It's big and it's shaped like a boat, yeah

But don't you try to explain it
'Cause I just put on my coat
Yeah, that's all she wrote
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
She walked along the shore
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
Your only lover

A heavy trip got me on my split blue knees
I feel like I've been crushed

A quadraphonic white noise sea
My blood begins to rush

In my veins, baby
But don't try to rip me off, man
I can only take so much
Take so much
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
She walked along the shore
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
Your only lover, yeah

Hey, raise your glass and deck the hall
We got fish in the river again

And they might just survive
Well, as long as it doesn't start to rain

And when it burns through my forehead
I got sewage on the brain, yeah
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
She walked along the shore
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
She walked along the shore
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
She walked along the shore
Your only lover walked
Your only lover walked
She walked along the shore
Your only lover
