[00:00.00]Rope of Weeds - Elysian Fields
[00:33.80]Night cracked like a skull
[00:37.14]Made the moon convulse
[00:40.64]Wrapped its chilly tongue around my mast
[00:47.55]A fortnight it would be
[00:50.91]Since I'd been out at sea
[00:54.89]Ne'er another soul had crossed my path
[01:02.01]Ne'er another soul had crossed my path
[01:16.34]I was hauling salt
[01:19.28]In my bleached and battered boat
[01:23.12]Trawling just to pass the restless night
[01:29.88]When I felt the queerest tug
[01:33.56]Against that fraying cord
[01:37.37]Reeling in a devastating sight
[01:44.46]In the brackish sound
[01:47.81]Somebody had drowned
[01:50.87]She wrapped her raven rings around my line
[01:57.89]She wrapped her raven rings around my line
[02:11.95]In a tangled open dress
[02:15.29]The most comely bloodless breasts
[02:18.92]A distant look was frozen in her eyes
[02:25.76]A fiend possessed my soul
[02:29.03]As I helped her to disrobe
[02:32.52]A rope of weeds was woven round her thighs
[02:39.54]A rope of weeds was woven round her thighs
[02:53.05]My ill and frenzied heart
[02:59.38]And the quiet lapping song
[03:06.89]Beaten by the splendor of her hips
[03:20.38]I had to lay her down
[03:27.21]Atop those briny beds
[03:34.00]And press my mouth against her silent lips
[03:47.50]The frigid moon was green
[03:51.20]Upon my wicked scene
[03:54.16]My wasted angel shimmering in sand
[04:00.52]I had to be with her
[04:04.17]And leave the world behind
[04:07.57]I knew that no one else could understand
[04:14.05]And I slipped her silver palm inside my hand
[04:28.05]Married to the bower
[04:30.63]I threw our bodies overboard
[04:34.55]Our hearts were bound by heavy rusted chain
[04:41.18]Now I roam the ocean floor
[04:44.68]With the lady I adore
[04:48.36]This is where we remain
[04:55.22]This is where we remain
[05:11.20]This is where we remain
[05:21.98]This is where we remain
