Swamp of Sadness

Spend my days in a haze floating around 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 around 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

Because 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
