Lay a kiss on these lips, they've waited here for you
so soft and smooth, you sell your love to my hangman's noose
now i'm lying in my bed, with dark thoughts running round my head
just know that drinking and the smoking, won't put good things there instead

So listen to the songbird sing, rough seas don't bother him
like the touch of a baby child, he's free untamed and wild

burn my eyes with your hips, they draw me close to you
like the poison from a snakebite, draws blood to an open wound
now i'm lying in your bed, with your dark thoughts in my head
forgot that smoking and the drinking, just puts mine back there instead

so listen to the songbird sing rough seas don't bother him
like the touch of a baby child he's free untamed and wild

lessons learnt from the words they spit
don't you know i've had enough of it
like the songbird out at sea
dark thoughts don't bother me

so listen to the songbird sing, rough seas don't bother him
like the touch of a baby child, he's free untamed and wild
