The Lighthouse

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
From a tender age, I was cursed with rageCame swingin' like a fist inside a battin' cageI went swimmin' with the Devil at the bottom of a lakeAnd he left me there by my lonesomeHe was tall and mean with venom eyes so greenWanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teethI couldn't find the floor, so I was kickin' with my feetBut they weren't there, they were stolenThere is a lighthouseIn thе middle of the deep endI'm still strandеd on the shoreline thereAnd nobody hears me screamAnd I'll lure you like a landslideAnd I'll show you lovely thingsIf you rescue me, but they'll make-believeThe lighthouse by the seaI met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyesHe kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighsBut a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you liesSo I left him there 'til the sunriseWell, the waves were tall and they were crashin' downHe's layin' in the water, begging God to let him drownSo I showed him all my teeth and then I laughed out loud'Cause I never wanted savin'I just wanted to be foundThere is a lighthouseIn the middle of the deep endI'm still stranded on the shoreline thereAnd nobody hears me screamAnd I'll lure you like a landslideAnd I'll show you lovely thingsIf you rescue me, but they'll make-believeThe lighthouse by the seaWell, that should teach a man to mess with meHe was never seen again and I'm still wanderin' the beachAnd I'm glad I met the Devil'Cause he showed me I was weakAnd a little piece of him is in a little piece of meThere is a lighthouseIn the middle of the deep endI'm still stranded on the shoreline thereAnd nobody hears me screamAnd I'll lure you like a landslideAnd I'll show you lovely thingsIf you rescue me, but they'll make-believeThe lighthouse by the seaAnd the waves come crashing downAnd the waves come crashing downAnd the waves come crashing down(And the waves come crashing down)And the waves come crashing down(And the waves come crashing down)And the waves come crashing down(And the waves come crashing down)And the waves come crashing down(And the waves come crashing down)And the waves come crashing down(And the waves come crashing down)And the waves come crashing down
