Whenever she's alone   Alone that child she dares   To flair her icy bones   Half naked into the air      Just to find the spot   The one that makes you weak   To draw more than the queen's lot   By the end of every week      And you can tell me   About the useless sea   On behalf of the widow   Of a sailor soon to be free      You can tell me   About the useless sea   And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair   And we can dance like open windows in the evening air      Whenever she's alone   That woman dares to keep   Leaking boats built too low   To move us in our sleep      And if you find the place   The one that made you grow   Crowns of flowers in the girl's face   Chasing blood into the river's flow      And you can tell me   About the useless sea   On behalf of the widow   Of the sailor soon to be free      You can tell me   About the useless sea   And we can dance like diamond thieves at the fair   And we can dance like open windows in the evening air
