The Albatross

Wise men once said"Wild winds are death to the candle"A rose by any other name is a scandalCautions issued, he stoodShooting the messengersThey tried to warn him about herCross your thoughtless heartOnly liquor anoints youShe's the albatrossShe is here to destroy youWise men once said"One bad seed kills the garden""One less temptressOne less dagger to sharpen"Locked me up in towersBut I'd visit in your dreamsAnd they tried to warn you about meCross your thoughtless heartOnly liquor anoints youShe's the albatrossShe is here to destroy youDevils that you knowRaise worse hell than a strangerShe's the death you choseYou're in terrible dangerAnd when that sky rains fire on youAnd you're persona non grataI'll tell you how I've been there tooAnd that none of it mattersWise men once read fake newsAnd they believed itJackals raised their hacklesYou couldn't conceive itYou were sleeping soundlywhen they dragged you from your bedAnd I tried to warn you about themSo I crossed my thoughtless heartSpread my wings like a parachuteI'm the albatrossI swept in at the rescueThe devil that you knowLooks now more like an angelI'm the life you choseAnd all this terrible dangerSo cross your thoughtless heartShe's the albatrossShe is here to destroy you
