lyrics
In the bowels of the galley
Where the wormwood weeps and moans
The briny deep through the creases seep
And I hang my head alone
The master cracks the whip
Points a crooked finger at me
“Get along, you cur” and I say “yes, sir”
Raise the anchor, drift asea
Hoist the rag, away, we leave for home today
The bells ring, I long to hear that sound
Hoist the rag, ahead, man, I’ll sleep when I’m dead
And my love sings sweet for me deep underground
I scan the vast blue blanket
While the rain squalls pound my head
The sirens scream till my ears bleed
And their voices wake the dead
Now Johnny pours the whiskey
And Edward pours the tea
But the fire that lives deep inside
Burns only just for me
There’s a beauty in destruction
A crash of turquoise sea
We climbed atop like vikings and screamed “we are free”
Now, me, I’ll bring my lovers
And you, you’ll bring your kings
And we’ll sip old world sangria
And talk of wicked things
I’m digging in the earth
In sweat and dirty rain
I’m finding out just who I am
Amongst ragged roots and pain
Hoist the rag, away, we leave for home today
The bells ring, I long to hear that sound
Hoist the rag, ahead, man, I’ll sleep when I’m dead
And my love sings sweet for me deep underground
