lyrics

She is a siren, she is a fighter
Temptress of the fallen, unrequiter
She carries her pain like a good luck charm
It keeps her from feeling, it keeps her from harm

I fear, this is, this is, not working
I fear, I fear, this is, not working

Yet we sit drinking and compare vignettes
I spit on the dice, I place my bets
Yeah she was really beautiful in a bloodless sort of way
Didn’t matter what I did, didn’t matter what I’d say

I fear, this is, this is, not working
I fear, I fear, this is, not working

Some other city’s calling, it’s time to pull an oar
To lock up all the memories, to push out from the shore
Where there’s music for the happy, and poems for the sad
There are flowers for the lovers and silence for the mad
Where the wild ponies of her affections aren’t free to run and roam
And I don’t have to deal with all her beauty
Where there are no signposts to her stately pleasure dome
And the chase is not a duty
Where I can’t ride her stalking horse
Back home

Sometimes hiding is the best thing you can do
Stay away from that which you pay worship to
Take all of your temptation and lock it in a chest
Throw away the key and put your soul at rest
What would we have done with eternity anyway?
This feels like a victory in a strange peculiar way

I fear, this is, this is, not working
I fear, I fear, this is, not working
