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
