I cruised too far The night before the anchor goes up I put the flag upside down Lying awake under A black & comfortless sky With carnations in my hair
All the evil skulls of the world Are out for our skin We’ll be dodging bullets for while Every blessed night It feels like I’m slowly going out with the ebb
Everything grows dark inside me As though the night was pushing through my pores I’ll go the way of all flesh Oh go on & sing You heavenly muse Hallowed be Thy Name
I don’t want to rattle and groan Back off, back off, just let me go This one last time Wild and free
Sing heavenly muse Hallowed be Thy Name Sing a song on my deathbed
