lyrics

♠ Beloved Arms

Beloved Arms is a ship
And it sails on choppy seas
I am a nauseous and unsteady
Wasp among the bees
Oh how the storm keeps a secret
No fair weather friends to be found
No one here’s buying a round the world trip
They’re just buying a round
And while the candles flicker gaily
We have sailors dying daily
They are stunned with disbelief
And the mermaids pull the beers
And lay the wreaths

Tonight I came here to check out the talent
Like nobody else
And before this singular audience
You lay down and offered yourself
Were you inclining your head to hear better
Or bearing your neck?
And then all these faces came rushing towards me
In waves on the deck
Yes I was the first
To see the bulkheads had burst
But I never did raise the alarm
Gratefully I sink
In Beloved Arms
