Yesterday I took the life of a rich man’s daughter He and his wife shed tears as they watched me set her out on the water Now she follows me Like a shadow from a nightmarish dream But I can’t bring myself to mind her company
Like a lion you roar out in ecstasy for the men you love I’m still trying to bury those memories
The way that the gulls were crying out I was sure they’d kill themselves As the waves of the ocean wrapped her body And reveled in their newfound wealth
I can feel you calling for me and someday I’ll find you And all the people who tell me you’re a bitch Can’t keep me from getting to you
