From a tender age, I was cursed with rage
Came swingin' like a fist inside a battin' cage
I went swimmin' with the Devil at the bottom of a lake
And he left me there by my lonesome
From a tender age, I was cursed with rage
Came swingin' like a fist inside a battin' cage
I went swimmin' with the Devil at the bottom of a lake
And he left me there by my lonesome
He was tall and mean with venom eyes so green
Wanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teeth
I couldn't find the floor, so I was kickin' with my feet
But they weren't there, they were stolen
[Chorus]
There is a lighthouse
In the middle of the deep end
I'm still stranded on the shoreline there
And nobody hears me scream
And I'll lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe
The lighthouse by the sea
[Verse 2]
I met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyes
He kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighs
But a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you lies
So I left him there 'til the sunrise
Well, the waves were tall and they were crashin' down
He's layin' in the water, begging God to let him drown
So I showed him all my teeth and then I laughed out loud
Cause I never wanted savin', I just wanted to be found
[Chorus]
There is a lighthouse
In the middle of the deep end
I'm still stranded on the shoreline there
And nobody hears me scream
And I'll lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe
The lighthouse by the sea
[Bridge]
Well, that should teach a man to mess with me
He was never seen again and I'm still wanderin' the beach
And I'm glad I met the Devil 'cause he showed me I was weak
And a little piece of him is in a little piece of me
[Chorus]
There is a lighthouse
In the middle of the deep end
I'm still stranded on the shoreline there
And nobody hears me scream
And I'll lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe
The lighthouse by the sea
[Outro]
And the waves come crashing down
And the waves come crashing down
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down
Pakkumise vanusest olin ma neetud raevuga
Tuli swingin "nagu rusikas sees batin 'puuri
Ma läksin ujuma kuradiga järve allosas
Ja ta jättis mind seal minu üksildane
Ta oli pikk ja keskmine mürgiga silmad nii rohelised
Tahtis leppimist, kuid mu keel oli mu hammastes
Ma ei suutnud põrandat leida, nii et ma olin oma jalgadega kickin
Aga nad ei olnud seal, nad olid varastatud
[Chorus]
Seal on majakas
Sügava otsa keskel
Ma olen seal rannajoont ikka veel luhtunud
Ja keegi ei kuule mind karjuda
Ja ma meelitan sind nagu maalihe
Ja ma näitan sulle ilusaid asju
Kui sa mind päästaksid, aga nad usuvad
Mere tuletorn
[Salm 2]
Kohtasin meremehele laevaga, kellel on tema silmad lubadusega
Ta suudles mind suus ja kaevatud sõrmede oma reied
Aga meremees ei ole Päästja põhjus, miks nad ainult ütlevad sulle valesid
Nii et ma jätsin ta päikesetõusu
Noh, lained olid kõrged ja nad olid krahhi alla
Ta on vee vees, kerjamine Jumalale, et ta uputada
Nii et ma näitasin talle kõik mu hambad ja siis ma naersin valjusti
Sest ma ei tahtnud savinit kunagi tahtnud, ma lihtsalt tahtsin leida
[Chorus]
Seal on majakas
Sügava otsa keskel
Ma olen seal rannajoont ikka veel luhtunud
Ja keegi ei kuule mind karjuda
Ja ma meelitan sind nagu maalihe
Ja ma näitan sulle ilusaid asju
Kui sa mind päästaksid, aga nad usuvad
Mere tuletorn
[Bridge]
Noh, see peaks õpetama meest minuga segama
Ta polnud kunagi jälle näinud ja ma olen ikka veel randa
Ja ma olen rõõmus, et kohtasin kuradiga, sest ta näitas mulle, et ma olin nõrk
Ja väike tükk teda on natuke tükk mind
[Chorus]
Seal on majakas
Sügava otsa keskel
Ma olen seal rannajoont ikka veel luhtunud
Ja keegi ei kuule mind karjuda
Ja ma meelitan sind nagu maalihe
Ja ma näitan sulle ilusaid asju
Kui sa mind päästaksid, aga nad usuvad
Mere tuletorn
[Outro]
Ja lained tulevad kokku
Ja lained tulevad kokku
Ja lained tulevad krahh alla (ja lained tulevad krahh alla)
Ja lained tulevad krahh alla (ja lained tulevad krahh alla)
Ja lained tulevad krahh alla (ja lained tulevad krahh alla)
Ja lained tulevad krahh alla (ja lained tulevad krahh alla)
Ja lained tulevad krahh alla (ja lained tulevad krahh alla)
Ja lained tulevad kokku
