Well when I asked would you agree

To be the wide wild sea

Instead of that the albatross

You turned out to be

And thinking back the complex kid

Watched the locust feed

Like tractor wrecks and cabbages

Rotting in a field

What a stupid world

Like a toothpick through the heart of a hummingbird

Like a spiderweb unspooling ′round a song

Oh you hear it on the wind and then it's gone

I′ve fallen out of grace

Tumbled through the days

The sea has no mercy

And I'm terrified of waves

So much power, so cold, so alone

Oh the sea has no mercy

She just heaves and rolls and moans

Help me recall the times you lied

To hide the cold hard truth

Liquor without love and trust

Killed my carefree youth

I wonder why a perfect storm

Rise like an angry beast

All hands on deck the sinking wreck

Committed to the deep

What a lousy world

Like a bullseye on the back of a teenage girl

Like a beaten dog barking at the moon

Oh the bitch in heat still licks the silver spoon

I've fallen out of grace

Tumbled through the days

The sea has no mercy

And I′m terrified of waves

So much power, so cold, so alone

Oh the sea has no mercy

She just heaves and rolls and moans

So much power, so cold, so alone

Oh the sea has no mercy

She just heaves and rolls and moans
