If I walk like a fool, I've walked like that since school
   But maybe it's the lure of the sea
   Who knows the effect,
   that whisky could've had on me
   It could've been the lure of the sea
  
   'Cause leather ain't as strong as the weather
   But leather can strangle any dream
   And leather ain't as strong as the weather
   But leather took Curtis from me
  
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea,
   maybe it's the lure of the sea
   Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
   But maybe it's the lure of the sea
  
   Once I felt chained, and now, now I feel free
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea
   Polo and Da Gama,
   well those two had nothing on me
   Could be I'm a sucker for the sea
  
   'Cause silver, ain't as quick as the tongue
   But silver, took the M.L.K so young
   And metal ain't as strong as the petal
   But metal left the verse unsung
  
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea,
   maybe it's the lure of the sea
   Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
   But maybe it's the lure of the sea
  
   Freedom's taken a liking to me
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea
   Look in my eyes 'cause my belt's broke free
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea
   The Pirates Of Penzance,
   they have nothing on me
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea
  
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea, maybe it's the lure of the sea
   Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
   But maybe it's the lure of the sea
  
   Maybe it's the lure of the sea, maybe it's the lure of the sea
   Suicide's just the anarchist that kicks down modesty
   But maybe it's the lure of the sea
