Sea Out

No, Marbella's on the run

In her eastern overcoat

Used to wear a lightbulb dressing gown

Turn it on, then tear it down

Before we went to sleep

So Marbella upped and left,

A tuba in a treble clef

Couldn't walk, she wouldn't cry

Dreaming was their only time

Dreams are half asleep

When they go sing out, sea out, sea out, sing out, sing out now

Sea out now, sing out now

Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now

Sea out now, sing out now

So a washed up carnival

Has just reduced me to my bones

I never did the washing up

I loved the stains on every cup

They were the only hint I had

Now Marbella's gone astray

Somewhere in this blackening Milky Way

I used to colour in the holes

Now I leave them blank

Now it's only spaces I have cause to thank

Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now

Sing out now, sea out now

Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now

Sing out now, sing out

Well, Marbella is my guest,

I treat her just like all the rest

Whisper fairytales of Neverland

Throw the pennies in her hand

Stroke her hair and tell her I've been cheating

Sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out, sing out now

Sing out now, sing out now

Sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out, sea out now

Sing out now, sing out now
