Lyrics:
Brave, bottles crowd the ocean floor Bound by rot, the scapegoats Of their salesmen on the shore Oh, the bastards of our natural war They may have lost this time But no one's keeping score Well courage straightens up its chin Burns the maps and runs With upraised arms into the wind Oh, and fortune tears it limb from limb Says "That bed looks warm But I'm not coming in" Oh, now charm still spars with misbelief Till time has rung its bell And captained one to its knees Oh, more stubborn than an old oak tree And when she smiles she shows her teeth And now havoc wreaks itself to sleep Plunders tact and pride and sinks Its roots in far too deep And in this darkness only hate can see So keep your fires burning for me Thick skinned and never growing old Desire cries and tries to reason with your soul Saying I know what you need I could keep you company Greed grins eagerly Says it's goddamn easy being me
