Spend my days in a haze, floating 'round in the Marais Nights under the bright lights at Mignon on Beaumarchais Rouge wave gets me mumbling, then tumbling it takes me Bouncing and rolling like a cork lost out at sea Endless nights that haunt and taunt eternal seemingly How the sirens come to me But they're not real, just temptation in the deep
They all sing along to a luring song of prey Melody washes over but can't make out a word they say Tied my mooring line to wine but it snapped back from the fray So I row against the undertow, drifting, my anchor away
A drunken sailor lost and lonely in a sad and magic swamp Saint Michel protecting me from everything I want But darkness falls like thunder and that old dragon wins Running 'round in circles, trying to reach the end Trying to break the cycle of solitude and sin Here come those sirens again
They all sing along to a luring song of prey Melody washes over but can't make out a word they say Tied my mooring line to wine but it snapped back from the fray So I row against the undertow, drifting, my anchor away
Pull the wax out of my ears, tie me to the mast headlong My heart's free of fear, so let me hear that siren song Play it loud and sing it proud and make it last so long 'Cause the night goes on and on, forever
They all sing along to a luring song of prey Melody washes over but can't make out a word they say Tied my mooring line to wine but it snapped back from the fray So I row against the undertow, drifting, my anchor away
