loreley from COMPLIMENTS / ARGUMENTS by bordeaux lip

floating on the open sea / just my little ship and me / and from heaven drips a choir / catch' me with piano-wire / every note gives me a shock / pulls me closer to the rock / I can't win but I will try / shouting at the open sky / tell me lore- loreley / is it you who holds me tight? / with you gorgeous hook and eye / and a voice that made me cry

I'm a puppet on a string / hoist my sails in evil wind / and my brain wants to take part / but there's a captain in my heart / lighthouse shines in strawberry-blonde / shows me everything I want / and it feels absolutely wrong / but I keep fighting her song / loreley, there's land in sight / let me ask you this upright / is one moment by your side / really worth a suicide?

loreley I'm gonna die / my ship is swallowed by the tide / even though you won't reply / I hope you heard my battle-cry
