[00:02.58] Wise men once said

[00:05.23] "Wild winds are death to the candle"

[00:08.21] A rose by any other name is a scandal

[00:13.62] Cautions issued, he stood

[00:17.67] Shooting the messengers

[00:19.60] They tried to warn him about her

[00:24.71] Cross your thoughtless heart

[00:27.95] Only liquor anoints you

[00:30.61] She's the albatross

[00:33.35] She is here to destroy you

[00:37.41] Wise men once said

[00:40.13] "One bad seed kills the garden"

[00:43.05] "One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"

[00:48.63] Locked me up in towers

[00:52.61] But I'd visit in your dreams

[00:54.28] And they tried to warn you about me

[00:59.43] Cross your thoughtless heart

[01:02.89] Only liquor anoints you

[01:05.54] She's the albatross

[01:08.52] She is here to destroy you

[01:11.18] Devils that you know

[01:13.90] Raise worse hell than a stranger

[01:16.61] She's the death you chose

[01:19.60] You're in terrible danger

[01:25.49] And when that sky rains fire on you

[01:30.34] And you're persona non grata

[01:35.20] I'll tell you how I've been there too

[01:42.12] And that none of it matters

[01:47.01] Wise men once read fake news

[01:51.06] And they believed it

[01:52.94] Jackals raised their hackles

[01:56.65] You couldn't conceive it

[01:58.57] You were sleeping soundly

[02:02.09] When they dragged you from your bed

[02:04.30] And I tried to warn you about them

[02:08.87] So I crossed my thoughtless heart

[02:12.67] Spread my wings like a parachute

[02:15.40] I'm the albatross

[02:18.06] I swept in at the rescue

[02:21.04] The devil that you know

[02:23.70] Looks now more like an angel

[02:26.62] I'm the life you chose

[02:29.28] And all this terrible danger

[02:35.39] (This terrible danger)

[02:43.16] So cross your thoughtless heart

[02:47.75] She's the albatross

[02:51.55] She is here to destroy you
