Forty days of living hell

Force nine gale, broken sail

What a story

I could tell

Forty days of ocean roar

Now two nights to kill on shore

Stars fall, girls call, take me home

Walking through this empty town

Cuts me up and brings me down

I'm shipwrecked on my own

Passing cars striptease bars

And I'm drinking all alone

Lost dreams, gull screams, take me home

But this machine inside my head

Remembers every word she said

But this machine inside my head

Is telling me this dream is dead

And leaves me drifting high and dry

Read light beauty calls me in

Smoky haze, shifty gaze

And the dead night smells of gin

As rage and emptiness collide

Just feel a burning deep inside

Waves growl, winds howl, take me home

Someone please now rescue me

From the chains of the sea

I'm drifting endlessly

Someone please set me free

I'm sinking helplessly
