The Albatross

[00:03.08] Wise men once said

[00:05.83] "Wild winds are death to the candle"

[00:08.84] A rose by any other name is a scandal

[00:14.39] Cautions issued, he stood

[00:18.38] Shooting the messengers

[00:19.92] They tried to warn him about her

[00:26.17] Cross your thoughtless heart

[00:28.67] Only liquor anoints you

[00:31.17] She's the albatross

[00:34.17] She is here to destroy you

[00:37.70] Wise men once said

[00:40.70] "One bad seed kills the garden"

[00:43.70] "One less temptress

[00:46.45] One less dagger to sharpen"

[00:49.20] Locked me up in towers

[00:53.20] But I'd visit in your dreams

[00:55.01] And they tried to warn you about me

[01:00.50] Cross your thoughtless heart

[01:03.50] Only liquor anoints you

[01:06.25] She's the albatross

[01:09.00] She is here to destroy you

[01:11.75] Devils that you know

[01:14.75] Raise worse hell than a stranger

[01:17.50] She's the death you chose

[01:20.25] You're in terrible danger

[01:26.25] And when that sky rains fire on you

[01:31.53] And you're persona non grata

[01:36.53] I'll tell you how I've been there too

[01:43.03] And that none of it matters

[01:47.54] Wise men once read fake news

[01:52.03] And they believed it

[01:53.53] Jackals raised their hackles

[01:57.54] You couldn't conceive it

[01:59.03] You were sleeping soundly

[02:02.55] When they dragged you from your bed

[02:04.84] And I tried to warn you about them

[02:09.34] So I crossed my thoughtless heart

[02:13.09] Spread my wings like a parachute

[02:15.84] I'm the albatross

[02:19.09] I swept in at the rescue

[02:21.59] The devil that you know

[02:24.34] Looks now more like an angel

[02:27.34] I'm the life you chose

[02:30.09] And all this terrible danger

[02:42.39] So cross your thoughtless heart

[02:49.42] She's the albatross

[02:52.42] She is here to destroy you
