The night smelled of the ocean and it was starless and cold, nI'd just missed the last train, I couldn't face going home nI heard the song of the siren close to the old harbour wall, nShe sang blessed are the lonely, but that's not true at allnnStone mermaids would weep if they could (x2)nnI ran the stairs to her room past a framed picture of boats nAnd rode the tides of her body for just a handful of notes, nAnd the feeling flooded through me like a syringe floods a vein nAs she bent lighting a candle I'd like to see her againnnI passed her pimp on the stairs (x2)nnThe streets have OD's on sodium and rain, it's like the world's on freeze-frame, nIt's like the world's on freeze-framennMy past is howling on a chain, must I live it again? nMust I live it again? Oh, must I live it again? Oh, must I live it again?nSo I tremble like Judas in that damnfool night wind, nThe light from her window is calling me in, nBut I step back in the shadows, I've got forever to kill, nThe red dawn spread like a bloodstain and I'm waiting there stillnnUs shipwrecks love silence and time (x2)
