|
sailor junkman, unfaithful servant |
|
my lover in heaven, my brother in hell |
|
wish you wrote better |
|
for dreamers who earthbound |
|
are roaming the cities |
|
in search of the tale |
|
maybe you've seem them |
|
a ghost on the stair |
|
thankful and thankless |
|
he prays for forgiveness |
|
he loved only one time |
|
and he loved her well |
|
I will bury his broken hands |
|
that he strangled me with |
|
oh I begged him to do it |
|
you may call it an accident |
|
and may wonder where might |
|
a vagabond drove me |
|
a motherless child |
|
you may follow him, wait for him |
|
and orphan of strangers |
|
well maybe you've seen him |
|
thankful and thankless |
|
he prays for forgiveness |
|
he loved only one time |
|
and he loved her well |
|
I will bury his broken hands |
|
that he strangled me with |
|
oh I begged him to do it |
|
yes I did |
|
sailor junkman, wandering scavenger |
|
tree climber walking where he goes |
|
death to all men |
|
who dared to put lead in his shoes |
|
trying to keep him still |
|
thankful and thankless |
|
he prays for forgiveness |
|
he loved only one time |
|
and he loves me |
|
do it, come on, do it -- sucker! |
