Setting sail for a far distant shore.
Well, where I'm heading to, I'm not too sure.
Hoping when I get there I can finally be happy.
Hoping when I get there I can finally find some peace.
They say it's dangerous, out on the waves.
They say it's dangerous those waves will be your grave.
Waiting, for this ship to change the direction I'm sailing in.
Shaking, yeah I'm afraid, of what this future is bringing.
Hoping that I can find an answer to it all.
That's when, that's when I heard the Siren's song, she's singing,
(Chorus)
"Captain your ship is sinking,
you'll drown tonight if you don't jump in."
I know this ship is sinking,
better heed this sirens warning.
They warned me about girls like you.
The one with a pretty face and a pretty song,
You don't got much do you?
They said you'd lead me straight to my death.
A moment of happiness, and then the watery depths.
They say it's dangerous, out on the waves.
They say it's dangerous, those waves will be your grave.
So now I'm drowning in this darkening madness.
I can feel her warm skin yet all I taste is sadness.
I know what I did ain't right, I know it's probably wrong.
But I'd give it all again, just to hear the Siren's song she's singing,
(Chorus)
"Captain your ship is sinking,
you'll drown tonight if you don't jump in."
I know this ship is sinking,
I'd better heed this Siren's warning.
Better heed this Siren's calling.
Better heed this Siren's warning.
