Letra : Truth or Dare

Is this a man or just
Flotsam and jetsam
Lost and adrift in the sea?

Not someone worth very much
In the way of ransom

Let's throw him back till
The sharks come and get some

Just leave the carving to me

First clean him up, something
Tells me he might be handsome
How does a man come to be
In the churning ocean?
His is a tale I really
Would like to hear

*instrumental*

I once lived a normal average life
Acting like a normal average wife
'til I cut my husband's throat
With a kitchen knife

And then it was off
To the deep blue sea
Looking for a sailor
Who was just like me
A woman and a man in a one-man boat...
Now it's only me

Sailing, sailing
On the bounding main
Singing this refrain:
All is fair in love and war
Steal a little, then
You steal some more

Don't get greedy 'cause I have
My ways of keeping score

I make all my vessels yar and trim
I take all my lovers tall and slim
First I size the mizzen mast

Then she measures him

And if either once is a little short
Then neither one makes it into port

And she spars the spanker sail
As a last resort

Sailing, sailing
Halfway 'round the world
With our sheets unfurled
One false step can seem so true
Lie to me, and then I'll lie to you
When you're lying just
Remember who you're lying to

(Spoken)
Tell me, a lie, Edmond. Make me believe

I once made a wish on a star above
Closed my eyes and then fell in love
For leagues and leagues I've traveled
Trying to get home

A sea of years rolling over me
Still I always see her face
Like a star fixed in the heavens
Like hope and full of grace

(Spoken) If that was a lie, you are the best goddamn liar. Edmond Fiar, whoever your right

I once met a man who I thought was good
Treated him like a woman should
For leagues and leagues we traveled
Fast and far from home

I close my eyes and I see him still
Then I open them a bit
Like a star fixed in the heavens...
He was always full of sh*t

Sailing, sailing
Halfway 'round the world
With our sheets unfurled
One false step can seem so true
Lie to me, and then I'll lie to you

When you're lying just
Remember who you're lying to

One false step can seem so true
Lie to me, and then I'll lie to you
When you're lying just
Remember who you're lying to
Who you're lying to
Who you're lying to
