Can you read the future?

lyrics

Can you read the future?

Trim the sails as the cannon roars
the scurvy wind cries
on the broken shore
the tide is turning
with an ominous swell
can you read the future?

stuck like a starfish to your hull
a barnacle of desire
a blow hole ruptures my hard shell
I've got pain.......for hire

a pot of gold full of pieces of eight
you curdle my blood mate
I’d throw you over in the flash of a knife
cause I've got rage.......for life

blindfold my eyes as I walk the plank
salt spray stings my lips love
you gave me your heart & I watched as it sank
I've got spite .... for wings
