The hours converge on a sea as hard as diamonds
White gold and glittering in the harbour
And the day begins to make its cloudy way nightwards
Now I know what I know I won't risk a second look backwards
I saw you on a sunken day
You were dancing on the deck
It had already happened long before we first met
I turned till you looked my way
Bailed water from your wreck
And I was hook, line and sinker swayed
By your drowning one-man act
I forged you from sehnsucht a Harlequin's mask
I squinted and loved you for plain circumstance
But the world knew better, knew better than I -
It is watchful and far less desirous of lies
Well the day sprang a leak with our treasures on board
Our coveted out-of-the ordinary hoard
But I couldn't care less for those j**els that I left
I just wanted my safety of pa**age a**ured
Switching the tracks from black to blue
Glory train's bound but not for you
Head on my shoulders, my eye to the gun
I'll get away second time round
I saw you on a sunken day
You were dancing on the deck
And it had already ended long before we first met
Oh I murdered it so artfully
I was quite the diligent
But you aided and abetted me
So don't play that innocent
