The sirens own the call The call when you are gone The sirens talk a lot And I talk back too
From the back of my head To the back of my neck
Ad you must have come quickly When you heard the sirens talk to me And you know your way perfectly And you have such rhythm in your feet
The battle′s just begun It′s already been won It feels like ecstasy It feels much more to me
From the tip of my tongue To the top of my lungs
And you must have come quickly When you heard the sirens talk to me And you know your way perfectly And you have such rhythm in your feet
Always last when you′ve nothing to gain Always won when you′re the only one playing Always last when you′ve nothing to gain Always won when you′re the only one playing
And you must have come quickly When you heard the sirens talk to me And you know your way perfectly
Lead me down to the sea To where the sirens call and where the waves are raging free Sing for me, all of your sweetest melodies and then let me drown into your arms, into the sea
Hear the sirens of the sea They′re calling for our hearts and they will have them eventually Sing for me, all sirens of the seven seas Take me away, lead me astray in your deceitful ways
Hear a thousand voices calling me down by the deceitful sea They sing for me The sirens of the seven seas Their eyes are all fixed on me
I heard you call my name on a stormy day from beneath the waves I watched you slip away and I knew it was far too late
Lay your head on a feathery moss Freeze your mind and drown in doss See the places you have never been let the magic begin
Bountiful gilt Stained the green Never-ending wilt Covered the scene Fanciful shades Gathered on the glades Wheezy summertime slowly fades
Mummified grass Cloaked the lanes Faint ruddy brass Coloured the plains Deep in the haze A pristine race Is beginning to sing witching lays
Wonderful ballads are lugging away You won′t be back if you leave the way Sometimes a well-known voice can be heard in the choir From a nebulous mire Are they contented or just magnetized? Enfettered and still mesmerized
There′s a weakness in the window Place my footprints in the dark room There′s lonely voices like a scarecrow In the hallway like a lost ghost In the bedroom I see a shadow From the moon with light from a candle On a bed-frame lies a girl Her reflection in the mirror
Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada I like your eyes wide Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada I′ve been knocking at your backdoor Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada Nervous like a knife fight Ladada dadada dadada dadala dada Be careful what you ask for
I do this from time to time Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time) I do this from time to time When I can never say the things I mean (from time to time) I do this from time to time Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time) I do this from time to time Where I like to think of you with me
It′s a dark night on the West Coast Then a soft breeze as the sun rose Then the phone rang like a gunshot Like a siren on the beach rock There′s a message at the river A certain package here to the deliver When the day breaks after nightfall I will be there, you know I will

I can hear you breathe, I′m feeling the shake And the sound of my heartbeat Can′t let go... Do you know I′m feeling the pain Of my first love? I won′t let it go... Can′t let go
I do this from time to time Where I can never wake from a bad dream (from time to time) I do this from time to time Where I can never say the things I mean (from time to time) I do this from time to time Where I like to watch you as you sleep (from time to time) I do this from time to time Where I want to taste you as you breathe (from time to time)
