Shiver me timbers, blow me away in a dead man? hat
|
Scatter my bones in a Singapore alleyway
|
I?l hang my head in a Hong Kong wind and hum a homesick song
|
A cigarette burning on the tip of my tongue
|
When the ship pulls into harbor
|
And the moth burns its wings and falls
|
|
Incense burning in the dragonfly room come sit on my knee
|
Mumble unknown Oriental words
|
Shadows dance from the candles and the sandalwood taste of skin
|
So hot tonight the air is as heavy as gauze
|
|
When the ship pulls into harbor
|
And the moth burns its wings and falls
|
Man underwater -- I? here in the belly of the beast
|
Man underwater -- I? choking on an invisible feast
|
|
Got rolled last night by a shadow who cut my lip with a stone
|
Woke in the gutter with blood on my chinnie chin chin
|
Made it back to the ship and the groan of the hawser pulling at the wharf
|
Pulled a sliver of glass from my hand
|
|
Man underwater -- I? here in the belly of the beast
|
Man underwater -- I? choking on an invisible feast
|
|
So kiss me again, you know I spent good money for this
|
I?l slip into you like the mainland mists at dawn
|
I?l crush your lips are as hot and sweet as the milk of my mother? love
|
She? dead and denied but you?e still young and firm
|
|
Man underwater -- I? here in the belly of the beast
|
Man underwater -- I? choking on an invisible feast
|
Man underwater -- I? here in the belly of the beast
|
Man underwater -- I? choking on an invisible feast
|
On an invisible feast ... on an invisible feast ... on an invisible feast
|
