Lyrics
Little white lies by the fireside, it's Tuesday
And I can't take this any more
Here's the final curtain call
Cold and deranged
I'm wired strange though some say
I've been this way before
I will meet you by the shore
Whooooo yay yaaaahhh
Something feeling strange
Cracking up the ships until I'm
High in another world
I am high in another world
With wind in their sails
Black ships so frail leave for war
I will meet you by the shore
