The Albatross

[00:03.22] Wise men once said

[00:05.88] "Wild winds are death to the candle"

[00:08.53] A rose by any other name is a scandal

[00:14.37] Cautions issued, he stood

[00:18.16] Shooting the messengers

[00:19.76] They tried to warn him about her

[00:25.34] Cross your thoughtless heart

[00:28.26] Only liquor anoints you

[00:30.91] She's the albatross

[00:34.10] She is here to destroy you

[00:38.09] Wise men once said

[00:40.56] "One bad seed kills the garden"

[00:43.75] "One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"

[00:49.06] Locked me up in towers

[00:53.05] But I'd visit in your dreams

[00:55.17] And they tried to warn you about me

[01:00.48] Cross your thoughtless heart

[01:03.14] Only liquor anoints you

[01:06.06] She's the albatross

[01:08.72] She is here to destroy you

[01:11.64] Devils that you know

[01:14.30] Raise worse hell than a stranger

[01:17.51] She's the death you chose

[01:19.89] You're in terrible danger

[01:26.33] And when that sky rains fire on you

[01:31.64] And you're persona non grata

[01:36.77] I'll tell you how I've been there too

[01:42.89] And that none of it matters

[01:47.93] Wise men once read fake news

[01:51.91] And they believed it

[01:53.24] Jackals raised their hackles

[01:57.23] You couldn't conceive it

[01:59.08] You were sleeping soundly

[02:02.54] When they dragged you from your bed

[02:04.93] And I tried to warn you about them

[02:09.72] So I crossed my thoughtless heart

[02:12.90] Spread my wings like a parachute

[02:15.82] I'm the albatross

[02:18.21] I swept in at the rescue

[02:21.40] The devil that you know

[02:24.06] Looks now more like an angel

[02:26.97] I'm the life you chose

[02:29.63] And all this terrible danger (Ah)

[02:36.30] (This terrible danger; Ah)

[02:43.51] So cross your thoughtless heart (Ah)

[02:49.08] She's the albatross (Ah)

[02:52.54] She is here to destroy you
