I bring you a tale of the broken seas
And I´m drowning in whisky and beer
My doctor reports if I don´t stop soon
I´ll drown in an ocean of tears

I looked to you and saw my desire
Went from the frying pan into the fire
Surrendered to sorrow and was undone
Now I´m praying that it won´t be long

We fucked up the sun into kingdom come
You are under my blood and my skin
Living life at each other´s throats
In the gilded sailboat of sin

Ours was an ocean to swim around in
Ours was an ocean I should have drowned in
My doctor reports that we must be strong
But I´m praying that it won´t be long
