the lure of the sea lyrics

If I walk like a fool
I've walked like that since school
But maybe it's the lure of the sea
Who knows the effect
That whiskey could've had on me
It could've been the lure of the sea

'Cause leather ain't as strong as the weather
But leather can strangle any dream
And leather ain't as strong as the weather
But leather took Curtis from me

Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist
That kicks down modesty
But maybe it's the lure of the sea

Once I felt chained
And now, now I feel free
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Polo and Da Gama
Well, those two had nothing on me
Could be I'm a sucker for the sea

'Cause silver, ain't as quick as the tongue
But silver, took the M.L.K so young
And metal ain't as strong as the petal
But metal left the verse unsung

Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist
That kicks down modesty
Maybe it's the lure of the sea

Freedom's taken a liking to me
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Look in my eyes
'Cause my belt's broke free
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
The Pirates of Penzance
They have nothing on me
Maybe it's the lure of the sea

Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist
That kicks down modesty
Well, maybe it's the lure of the sea

Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Maybe it's the lure of the sea
Suicide's just the anarchist
That kicks down modesty
But maybe it's the lure of the sea
