lyrics

Come here, sailor man of mine,
and rest your weary bough.
The ship you sail is sweating out.
It burnt right through your time.

I been here a thousand years,
and never seen your show;
thousands been before you, though--
I drowned 'em all with tears.

So wade upon this broken shore
and sing me songs you've heard.
I'll be your little lighthouse bird
and you can be my whore.

Plop you in a pretty cage
and pack your maw with kelp.
Your eyes'll quiet plead for help.
Your throat'll choke with rage.

But weep me out a river, boy,
and whine across the shore.
No man has broken out before,
not one escaped convoy.

Here's the trick nobody knows,
the rabbit in my hat:
my neck-chords had you looking back,
but you're the one that chose.
