Forty days of living hell 
Force nine gale, broken sail 
What a story 
I could tell 
Forty days of ocean roar 
Now two nights to kill on shore 
Stars fall, girls call, take me home 
Walking through this empty town 
Cuts me up and brings me down 
I'm shipwrecked on my own 
Passing cars striptease bars 
And I'm drinking all alone 
Lost dreams, gull screams, take me home 
But this machine inside my head 
Remembers every word she said 
But this machine inside my head 
Is telling me this dream is dead 
And leaves me drifting high and dry 
Read light beauty calls me in 
Smoky haze, shifty gaze 
And the dead night smells of gin 
As rage and emptiness collide 
Just feel a burning deep inside 
Waves growl, winds howl, take me home 
Someone please now rescue me 
From the chains of the sea 
I'm drifting endlessly 
Someone please set me free 
I'm sinking helplessly
