The Albatross

[00:03.38] Wise men once said

[00:06.01] "Wild winds are death to the candle"

[00:08.94] A rose by any other name is a scandal

[00:14.53] Cautions issued, he stood

[00:18.51] Shooting the messengers

[00:20.11] They tried to warn him about her

[00:25.95] Cross your thoughtless heart

[00:28.61] Only liquor anoints you

[00:31.53] She's the albatross

[00:34.20] She is here to destroy you

[00:38.45] Wise men once said

[00:40.85] "One bad seed kills the garden"

[00:43.76] "One less temptress

[00:46.42] One less dagger to sharpen"

[00:49.34] Locked me up in towers

[00:53.34] But I'd visit in your dreams

[00:55.20] And they tried to warn you about me

[01:00.51] Cross your thoughtless heart

[01:03.43] Only liquor anoints you

[01:06.36] She's the albatross

[01:09.01] She is here to destroy you

[01:11.94] Devils that you know

[01:14.86] Raise worse hell than a stranger

[01:17.52] She's the death you chose

[01:20.17] You're in terrible danger

[01:24.42] .

[01:26.28] And when that sky rains fire on you

[01:31.60] And you're persona non grata

[01:37.19] I'll tell you how I've been there too

[01:43.03] And that none of it matters

[01:48.07] Wise men once read fake news

[01:52.06] And they believed it

[01:53.66] Jackals raised their hackles

[01:57.91] You couldn't conceive it

[01:59.23] You were sleeping soundly

[02:02.68] When they dragged you from your bed

[02:05.08] And I tried to warn you about them

[02:10.13] So I crossed my thoughtless heart

[02:13.31] Spread my wings like a parachute

[02:16.23] I'm the albatross

[02:18.89] I swept in at the rescue

[02:21.81] The devil that you know

[02:24.47] Looks now more like an angel

[02:27.12] I'm the life you chose

[02:30.04] And all this terrible danger

[02:44.12] So cross your thoughtless heart

[02:49.43] She's the albatross

[02:52.36] She is here to destroy you
