Bouquet for a Siren Songtext

von Sebadoh

I'm hiding nine wives, close my eyes
Valiant, like a god I fly
Merry-go-round, window-speak
Working only for luxury
Married to failure, dulled by grief
I'm fighting on and off full-cheek (?)
Since when again, I care, I swear I don't intend to be mean
Siren glides from surf to cliff
Endearing language, provocative
I'm here to say what's done is done
Serving shark's fin soup for everyone
Beautiful women in the world to see
I'm a born romantic, EAG
Gotta right to find an American dream
And so what?
Stranded here high and dry
Got a cause on the region, on the beach I lie (?)
Fortunate to wait and see
On these stepping stones of dust we've roped at defeat
Feeling as weak as a circus freak
I gotta relocate, I wanna sail the seas
We should've never kissed, never played
Pardon me, I had a place to stay
Enlighten my wives, close my eyes
Fell to you, like a god I fly
Merry-go-round, window-speak
Working only for luxury
Married to failure, dulled by grief
I'm fighting on and off full-cheek (?)
Since when, again, I care, I swear I don't intend to be mean
Siren glides from surf to cliff
Endearing language, provocative
I'm here to say what's done is done
Serving shark's fin soup for everyone
[strange days]
I'm scared (I'm scared of dying)
Don't let me die
Where's my lover? (Where is my lover?)
And again, again, again, again, again
