Yesterday I took the life of a rich man’s daughter
He and his wife shed tears as they watched me set her out on the water
Now she follows me
Like a shadow from a nightmarish dream
But I can’t bring myself to mind her company
Like a lion you roar out in ecstasy for the men you love
I’m still trying to bury those memories
The way that the gulls were crying out
I was sure they’d kill themselves
As the waves of the ocean wrapped her body
And reveled in their newfound wealth
I can feel you calling for me and someday I’ll find you
And all the people who tell me you’re a bitch
Can’t keep me from getting to you
