Sirensong

Listen... shell... ocean... swell...
Climb through, immerse in the hidden sea
neptune possess what is left of me
Lovely girl on the rocks
seashell suit and flowing locks
melodies all beckoning
begin to reel us in
I'm sailing in when at once i understand
that behind her back is a skull clasped in her hands
i cried then and my tears were lost at sea
that singing... it so nearly got to me
Empty... shell... quiet... spell...
Side wound, you gotta take one for the team
neptune, you were like a god to me
To the wheel, set a roll
to the seal, toss a ball
to the hoop, set a flame
and greet your audience again
I'm sailing in when at once i understand
that behind her back is a skull clasped in her hands
i cried then and my tears were lost at sea
that singing... it so nearly got to me
I need air...
I was sailing in when in a flash i understood
that that beautiful smile was just the skull beneath her hood
i cried then and my tears were lost at sea
that singing...
...it so nearly got to me.
