The Lighthouse

From a tender age I was cursed with rage

Came swinging like a fist inside a batting cage

I went swimming with the devil at the bottom of a lake

And he left me there by my lonesome

He was tall and mean with venom eyes so green

Wanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teeth

I couldn't find the floor, so I was kickin' with my feet

But they weren't there, they were stolen

There is a lighthouse in the

Middle of the deep end

I'm still standing on the shore line

And nobody hears me scream

And I'll lure you like a landslide

And I'll show you lovely things

If you rescue me but they'll make believe

The lighthouse by the sea

I met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyes

He kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighs

But a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you lies

So I left him there till the sunrise

Well, the waves were tall and they were crashing down

He's laying in the water begging God to let him drown

So I showed him all my teeth and then I laughed out loud

'Cause I never wanted saving, I just wanted to be found

There is a lighthouse in the

Middle of the deep end

I'm still stranded on the shore line

And nobody hears me scream

And I'll lure you like a landslide

And I'll show you lovely things

If you rescue me but they'll make believe

The lighthouse by the sea

Well, that should teach a man to mess with me

He was never seen again

And I'm still wandering the beach

And I'm glad I met the devil

'Cause he showed me I was weak

And a little piece of him is in a little piece of me

There is a lighthouse in the

Middle of the deep end

I'm still stranded on the shore line

And nobody hears me scream

And I'll lure you like a landslide

And I'll show you lovely things

If you rescue me but they'll make believe

The lighthouse by the sea

And the waves come crashing down

And the waves come crashing down

And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)

And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)

And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)

And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)

And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)

And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
