Now I’ve fallen overboard
I lie here on the ocean floor
Hear women wailing from the shore
Calling me into Sydney
I’ll navigate the tattooed skin
Of sailor boys and captain’s men
Who drowned before we sailed into Sydney
Blow me down, I’m all at sea
The taste of salt, unravels me
Now I’m drunk, on harbour brine
Throw me down a tawdry line
And pull me into Sydney
Now I’m aboard this sinking ship
I can’t escape the fleshless grip
That holds my breath and swings my hips into Sydney
Loved ones bones sway to and fro
There’s skeletons in the undertow
Clutch at my skin as they waltz me into Sydney
Blow me down, I’m all at sea
The taste of salt, unravels me
Now I’m drunk, on harbour brine
Throw me down a tawdry line
And pull me into Sydney
Now I’ve fallen overboard
I lie here on the ocean floor
Hear women wailing from the shore
Calling me into Sydney
