The albatross

[00:03.70] Wise men once said

[00:06.09] "Wild winds are death to the candle"

[00:09.01] A rose by any other name is a scandal

[00:14.59] Cautions issued, he stood

[00:18.57] Shooting the messengers

[00:20.17] They tried to warn him about her

[00:25.75] Cross your thoughtless heart

[00:28.67] Only liquor anoints you

[00:31.32] She's the albatross

[00:35.05] She is here to destroy you

[00:38.23] Wise men once said

[00:40.62] "One bad seed kills the garden"

[00:44.07] "One less temptress

[00:46.20] One less dagger to sharpen"

[00:49.12] Locked me up in towers

[00:53.10] But I'd visit in your dreams

[00:55.50] And they tried to warn you about me

[01:00.81] Cross your thoughtless heart

[01:03.46] Only liquor anoints you

[01:06.39] She's the albatross

[01:09.31] She is here to destroy you

[01:11.96] Devils that you know

[01:14.63] Raise worse hell than a stranger

[01:17.28] She's the death you chose

[01:20.20] You're in terrible danger

[01:26.32] And when that sky rains fire on you

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

[01:37.21] I'll tell you how I've been there too

[01:43.06] And that none of it matters

[01:48.11] Wise men once read fake news

[01:52.09] And they believed it

[01:53.42] Jackals raised their hackles

[01:57.40] You couldn't conceive it

[01:59.00] You were sleeping soundly

[02:02.71] When they dragged you from your bed

[02:05.11] And I tried to warn you about them

[02:09.88] So I crossed my thoughtless heart

[02:13.07] Spread my wings like a parachute

[02:15.73] I'm the albatross

[02:18.65] I swept in at the rescue

[02:21.31] The devil that you know

[02:24.23] Looks now more like an angel

[02:26.88] I'm the life you chose

[02:29.81] And all this terrible danger

[02:37.51] So cross your thoughtless heart

[02:50.00] She's the albatross

[02:53.18] She is here to destroy you
