Siren

Off and over the waves
In a town far out of the way
In his mind he's already made it, he's
Daft but always elated and

Heard he's tippin' away somewhere
Off away in the clouds, ah sure
He was a kid telling tall tales
He's probably still telling tall tales and

Has one thing on his mind
And it calls to him like a siren
His head is always a ways off shore
After some dream that he begged God for

(Chorus)
Day darkens and so does the road
Not all of fortune is silver and gold
Now tell me you found one to have and to hold
'cause here there be monsters
But that's just from what I've been told

Maybe you found the spot on the map
But lost the kid on the way to the mark
Tell me now were you digging for gold
Or digging yourself in a hole?

Now tell me "now, where's the head in the clouds?"
Now tell me "now, where's the bright eyed lad?"
Now tell me "now, where's the kid tellin' tall tales?"
(For fuck's sake)

(Chorus)
Day darkens and so does the road
Not all of fortune is silver and gold
Now tell me you found one to have and to hold
'cause here there be monsters
Believe that, just trust me I know

And I catch a glimpse of me mind
And she calls to me like a siren
Saying "How'd you get so fake?"

Off and over the waves
In a town entirely fake
In his mind he should be elated
Now, don't tell me that you're jaded lad

Heard he's tipping away somewhere
Probably telling his tall tales and
Doing a job that he begged God for
Don't be forgettin' to thank God for
